The Perspective of Family-Gender Role of PPKn Teacher Candidates at Universitas Negeri Surabaya

Gender construction builds social agreement on the gender roles of women and men. The division of gender roles is common and may have to occur in life, but sometimes the concept of role sharing leaves injustice in life. There is a role that seems to be a "destiny" of women or men in a family so that the role is difficult to change or exchange with the opposite sex. In patriarchal gender construction, the position of men and women is asymmetrical, with male positions higher than women. The scope of gender roles is divided into two, the domestic territory for women and the public for men. In order to transform gender to egalitarian, Unesa presented Gender and Education choice courses. The data in this study were collected after the students participated in the lecture using questionnaires to students participating in Gender and Education courses. There were 29 students as respondents in this study. The data was collected using a questionnaire to answer the problem of what is the perspective of PPKn teacher candidates about the gender roles of men and women? Data were analyzed descriptively using percentages. Based on the analysis, it can be stated that it is not easy to change views about gender. The partial transformation has occurred. The division of gender roles is no longer rigid, but in some cases, it seems that role exchange is not easy to happen.
