Gender Differences
Gender
represents another set of differences found in classroom. One important
question for teachers and many others in society has been how boys and girls,
men do and women, differ? Biology and hormones affect the kinds of play and
activities that boys and girls do, boys are more aggressive. Another evidence
of the origin of these differences is the treatment of parents with their sons
and daughters, where they are more roughly with sons and more socialized with
their daughters. Also they provide sons more independence and daughters more
protection. Those differences are seen largely within the classrooms, where
many teachers interact differently boys than they do with girls, they ask boys
more questions, giving them more praise because boys are more active in
learning. As teachers we should make balance between girls and boys and make
sure that our language and curriculum materials are gender free.
That's the main problem we find everywhere, in classes, at home...really boys I think are given more importance than us girls, that's an interesting topic that she be discussed!!
ReplyDeleteThere should be avoidance of discrimination between boys and girls. Teachers and parents shouldn't be bias with children because of their gender. They have to treat both boys and girls equally in the same way. They have to give every one his/her right in learning, choosing what they want, having their own friends and building their own social life. Because some parents prevent the girls from that and allow the boys to do what they want without even asking .
ReplyDeleteGender difference with respect to education has changed a lot , ladies over the past years prove that there is no different between male and female levels of thinking , females are reaching higher level of education, yet there is a biological difference which give males and females specific characteristics that no one can doubt it.
ReplyDeletethe teachers who leave the most impact on us are the teachers who always discriminate based on gender, this discrimination is never short term and affect a student's self esteem for a very long period of time, it's never easy to work against the expectations of others especially if they are people we look up to such as teachers we meet and interact with every day.
