Abstract

It is considered that gender equality has been realized in the teaching profession; however,there are a number of gender biased practices at the work place of teachers. The mechanism in which these actual conditions are generated and maintained has not been sufficiently detailed. The objective of this paper is to identify the actual conditions of gender bias and describe details of the mechanisms by which these conditions arise and are maintained by focusing on the logic of job assignments at the work places of school teachers. As a result of the analysis,firstly it was found that gender biases are reflected in the school grade assignment for elementary school teachers,and in the subject assignment at junior high schools. Secondly,teachers regard their own workplace as“gender bias free”. Thirdly,the gap between the actual conditions and teachers perceptions of the conditions is attributed to the understanding that the conditions are the result of “consideration”for female teachers who also bear responsibilities for the est of the family. Lastly,it was found that this“consideration”makes it difficult to become aware that the roles assigned to female teachers is disadvantageous when compared with that of male teachers. However,at the same time,the ongoing intensification of work pressures on all teachers has made the maintenance of this“consideration” unsustainable.
