Stereotyping In Classroom

Some common stereotypes I have heard include women are bad drivers, are not good at math, and love shopping. Of these three stereotypes, I think the first two can do the most harm. After all, if someone is being told they will be a bad driver or that they will not do well in math, I think they are likely to not try as hard or subconsciously worry and not do as well. The third stereotype is mainly harmless, though it is annoying when someone simply assumes it is true. No two people are alike. However, there are those who I relate to easier because of similar hobbies, shared beliefs, and similar life experiences. Whenever I meet or interact with those who are notably different than me I am generally open minded. However, when deciding if I want to become friends with someone I usually take several factors into consideration; some of which

Kids in middle school, are enduring a time period in their life where they're becoming teens, who are becoming adults. Kids going into middle school are at a point where boys being friends with girls was somewhat acceptable, to adults thinking if two 11 year olds of the opposite genders are gonna have sex with each other if they're left alone together for 5 minutes.

and anger was building up. Deep down all knowing I recall this as my first experience with

According to the textbook on page 453, a stereotype type threat is when someone has the fear of being judged on the basis of a negative stereotype. This can trigger anxiety that can be interfered with a person’s performance. In my opinion, I feel that with a stereotype threat can depend on the cognitive effect on how a child can perform in a school setting. An example of a stereotype threat would be differentiating between which race would have the better test scores, or has a very good IQ.

The typical school classroom conjures up images of boys and girls coexisting, raising their hands in equal numbers. However, that’s not always the case. According to 2010 data from NCES and the U.S. Census Bureau, from prekindergarten to senior year of high school, male students outnumber female students significantly in public school classrooms: 54 percent to 46 percent in pre-K and 51 percent to 49 percent from first grade to 12th grade.So with the disproportionate stats in the American classroom, is it beneficial to separate the genders from each other? Much debate has centered around this topic for years.

We began our study of stereotypes at our school when Mrs. Roberts, our English teacher, gave us questions on a piece of paper asking about stereotypes. We interviewed one to two students. The first students was asked inside of the classroom and the other one was asked outside of the classroom. After we interviewed the students, we inserted the review data into a form and then made the form into a google spreadsheet. We then looked at the data spreadsheet by gender and ethnicity. We then looked for how people often deal with these stereotypes towards them.

However, the most popular answer was school, which means students do realize the stereotypes that occur around them in an educational setting. When asked what kinds of stereotypes they have heard of they replied with “Cheerleaders are dumb”, “Asians are smart”, “Women are weak, men are stronger.” My classmates and I then asked how they dealt with these stereotypes. In other words, how they respond to it. Some responses were to confront the person, work hard to prove the stereotype wrong, or ignore it. Majority of everyone chose ignoring the stereotypes or not paying much attention to it. This overall evidence shows that students at North High are aware of the stereotypes that happen, even though most say to ignore it, I still believe it can get to them in certain

Imagine this, the teacher is going over a lesson about word parts. The teacher goes over prefixes, and suffixes. Jimmy gets tired of listening to the teacher and pulls up his computer. Everyone else in the class is listening to the lesson, but Jimmy goes on the web. The teacher notices Jimmy on the computer, but does not say a word, as he knows soon Jimmy will learn his lesson. The kids are staring at Jimmy and laughing, but the teacher gets them on task. They take a blank piece of lined paper out of their binders and start taking important notes. Jimmy decides not to care and keep on browsing the web. He looks at shoes, basketball equipment, and the football playoff scores. The kids in the class finish taking notes, but the teacher knows how to get Jimmy’s attention.

An accurate representation of the type of student I am cannot be determined by the amount of questions I get right on a test. My intelligence shouldn’t be judged by a score. My GPA, class rank and test scores aren’t a clear portrayal of whom I am and the heights I’m able to reach. The stereotypes that have been ironed into the society about my culture has imprinted its way into the early stages of my high school career. I had a mindset that didn’t clearly draw a picture of the type of scholar I am. I was content with having a C’s in a class. Going around telling myself that it was ok to be mediocre throughout high school, and I’d be fine in life. But I was soon woken up by a teacher who saw more in me than I ever saw in myself. He saw potential

Have you ever been stereotyped by what clothes you wear, how much money you make, or even the car you drive? This happen way too often than not. Imagine this: you came to this country when you were little. Your parents and yourself work hard everyday to get a better life. Soon you are in high school and start driving a honda. Of course your friends drive better cars such as mustangs. It’s hard to know that you're putting your best effort and yet it’s not good enough for. The people you know.Today I will talk about class stereotype and how they are learned and how they impact ourselves as human beings good and bad.

Stereotyping can be negative because it can affect the way people are treated based on race, social class, and gender. According to Claude Steele, "The reason is that we have a lot of

In the article " Laptop multitasking hinders classroom learning for both users and nearby peer" by Faria Sana, Tina Weston and Nicholas Cepeda. The authors discuss the negative effects of using laptops during class and the offset effect it brings to other students. Many issue arise when a student uses a laptop as a substitution to the conventional pen and paper to take notes. For example, poor test score and low retention of the class lecture. During the authors study they have concluded that using a laptop in class does in fact produce negative outcomes, especially if students are not interest in the subject matter (Faria, Weston, Cepeda, 2013, p. 25).

Would you like to be stereotyped? Stereotype means an idea of a particular type of person or thing using “all” when saying something about that idea or person. My position on sterotypes is that nobody should be stereotyped no matter who you are or how you look like.
