Abstract

A school could be one of significant places to nurture gender bias for the long duration of education for children and youngsters. The instructional materials like textbooks were important for students’ learning activities, which might be concerned with gender bias. Students could follow these textbooks and put the sexist behaviors or attitudes into practice. Accordingly, to choose textbooks without gender bias embedded
was of great significance to students’ learning. In this article, the criteria built for the examination of gender bias in textbooks worldwide would be reviewed in order to provide an overview of them for future researchers or teachers who were interested in them.
