Abstract
In this study, 25 science textbooks developed under the 7th National Curriculum were analyzed for gender-role stereotyping. A total of 3549 (17.9%) illustrations including persons were selected from 19810 illustrations from the textbooks. The frequencies of men and women appearing in them were counted, and the types of activities and the characters of people in them were analyzed. Male pupils and adults appearing in the textbooks were more frequently than female, and the difference between male and female adults was very great. However, the characters of pupils and adults were found to be active regardless of their age and gender. The jobs of male adults were depicted to be more diversified than those of female. Scientists appearing in the textbook illustrations also were mostly male.
