Presentation Type: Poster Presentation
This study aims to design a class for higher education in Japan that integrates educational practices and academic writing activities related to unconscious gender biases. The class intends to help students recognize their implicit beliefs about traditional gender roles, such as the perceptions of the ideal behaviors of men and women. Toward this end, the study explores activities that promote students’ understanding, including videos, reflection sheets, and online questionnaires. Using AI-powered keyword analysis, this study examines the most frequently occurring terms in the 2022 Survey on Unconscious Bias Based on Gender administered by the Gender Equality Bureau. Based on the results, the study proposes a 90-minute introductory lesson plan to address unconscious traditional gender-related biases. The proposed class is anticipated to serve as foundational learning for university students who are expected to assume leadership roles in the future. This research aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals, which establish 17 global goals and 169 targets to address issues such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. Rooted in the principle to “leave no one behind,” the SDGs intend to address global challenges by 2030. By fostering understanding and encouraging individual actions toward achieving these goals, this study contributes to the education for sustainable development and offers valuable insights into gender equity education for university students.
