The Reflection Of Gender And Gender Roles In The Classroom

To start off, Everyone likes and needs to socialize, Social skills are very important in life. Social skills are good for many jobs or just in general in life. When you have single-gender schools you do not get the social skills with other genders. You only know

This could have been improved if there was an available room that I could of used to take the children participating in the activity into, were I could carry out the interaction without out distractions. Another way of improving this problem is I could have asked used my group interaction by involving the whole class as the group. This would have made all the children feel involved and no distraction would have been made as all the children would have been part of the group activity.

Small groups require active teaching with much teacher guidance or involvement. Small groups can teach the context better than a larger group, allowing for no child to be struggling and left behind. Reading, math and science can benefit from small group interaction. Each student has a chance to be heard, voice his opinion or conclusion, get a response from the teacher and the other group participants, and close the gap for error. The key for successful learning is when the teacher involves himself and gets excited about what the children are to be taught. This is also true in group study as

“Group work is a teaching strategy that promotes academic achievement and socialization”(Frykedal, Chiriac, 2011). This method is often used since allow individuals to combine their skills with the intention to achieve a mutual goal. To be efficient when working with a group, individuals have the responsibility to understand and respect others preferences and

I like breaking off into little groups because I express more of my opinions, and I like that more. I will say if I am in a larger group, females or males, but mostly males, I am afraid to get judged. But that has just been me my entire life. In classes if we do break off into smaller groups I do tend to say more, but still, often times it matters who is in my group. If some of my closest friends are in my group or people I’m not afraid to get judged by, I will say more. That’s why I tend to think more female students like to get broke down into smaller groups so they don’t get judged by their opinions of males or non-close

It is widely discussed that boys are distracted by girls in class. Therefore, students should be separated the their gender in their classes. This is necessary because young men in the class are distracted by the young ladies because they’re trying to talk to the girl to date them. In

The presentation by Patrick who investigated female gender roles and Jai kai who explored male gender roles was intensely intriguing as it outlined the sexual discrimination present in Colombian society. The presentations educated me on the discriminatory oppression women encountered in this society, while they treated men more leniently. Women were described with marianismo, seen as delicate and pure -whose sole purpose was to produce babies and expert in domestic chores. In this society men were expected to be more machismo, which requires them to be domineering, physically strong and prideful. If one did not abide to such images, they were considered an outcast. I was exposed to a society contrasting to mine, in which sexist views were conventional, and it made me wonder why the neglection of these societal values causes society to reject an individual.

My name is Ms. Young Blood , and I am a two-year teacher at Fast Track Elementary. As a new teacher I have observed how gender affects writing in a negative way for both boys and girls inside the classrooms. Ways that many teachers can fix this issue is simply by taking into account implementing new teaching techniques, correcting gender stereotypes, and address the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). By having attended my credential school I have kept studies that I have done for my degree, and know the sources I will present to administration will help many teachers understand how gender affects writing inside the classroom. Three of the sources that I will be presenting to administration are: Elementary Classroom Teachers as Movement

If one walked into a modern day public school classroom in the United States it would most likely contain an equal number of boys and girls, dispersed throughout the room, being taught and learning as a group. This is society’s visual of what an average public school would include. But what if society’s visual could change? What if there was a new method of teaching students the same curriculum but in a different environment? One could also walk into a classroom filled with all boys learning as a group, and a separate classroom filled with all girls learning as a group. This image might be strange to some, but this concept has raised the awareness of many child education experts in America. The separation of genders in a classroom environment could possibly improve a child’s academic achievements over all.

As in single-sex school, since all peers are girls in girls’ schools and all classmates are boys in boys’ schools, there is no interaction between different genders inside the school in daily life. Rubén A. Gaztambide-Fernández, an assistant professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, has mentioned that “Single sex schools shelter the opportunity of social behaviors from students.”(Aschaiek, 2012).  On the other hand, many people think that the interactions between male and female students are too frequent in co-ed schools, which may cause unexpected and complicated relationships. In my personal opinion, it is true that there is not enough cross-gender interaction in single sex schools and there is too much interaction in co-ed schools. Therefore, In order to balance to the interactions between different genders to maintain a considerate relationship and healthy social life, applying the second solution of separate-gender classrooms in co-ed school is the best alternative to this issue. This could be further explained by increasing the activities between different genders in their break time after the separate-gender classes in co-ed schools.

In a traditional setting, boys and girls are mixed and learn together in a classroom. The traditional setting offers pros, like the preparement for real society in which these genders will continue to mix. A non-traditional setting will produce non-traditional results in which children may better their education. Single sex education with specialized styles for each gender, an example of a non-traditional setting, are beginning to show evidence of a better fit for students. Instead of a single male dominated classroom, separate rooms with different teachers may show better results in academic potential. A wide range of evidence shows certain conditions benefit females more than males and vice versa. The opposite gender can also be

I’m woken up at 7 am each morning by the click-clack of my mother’s heels on our kitchen linoleum on her way out the door - she exemplifies the Career Woman role nearly to a tee. For the few hours before I leave the house, I am alone. I feel as free from gender’s pervasive tendrils as I ever will. No one minds my un-made-up face as I pore over my Chemistry book, as I make my lunch, as I pack my bag. It is only when I leave the cocoon of safety that I am confronted by the ways I succeed and fail at behaving femininely. In the outside world, gender shapes my most minute behaviours in ways I am hardly conscious of.

In my role as point person, I chose an article that interested me and could see myself explaining and providing personal stories and perspectives. I thoroughly read my article and assured that I highlighted what I felt was most important through my questions. I made sure to ask questions that would bring out others opinions and make the class interesting. I read my article and also took from the Columbine High school movie that we watched in class, along with other news media I’ve seen, and personal experiences interacting with males/boys. I added a fun PowerPoint as my learning activity in which I asked the class questions about the images and what categories of violence they would put each image under (ex. Media violence, bullying, gun availability, family dynamics etc.)

Living in the 21st century as a teen and hearing about gender roles has definitely made me realize why certain things have become a normality in my society. In a time period where everything can be found in a book I’ve noticed the small imperfections within some. For instance, since I’ve been reading the book “American Girl,” I’ve noticed the similarities and the antithetical beliefs one might have depending on who ever was reading the book. Nancy Jo Sales focuses on the many events where gender roles become present within our lives listing countless stories. And although she primarily focuses on the female side being a male I’ve noticed how some of my assumptions of a female life are correct and how some are god awful wrong. I’ve also noticed the similarities I have with women when it comes to life problems we’ve received based on our gender. One issue that Nancy Jo Sales tackled really well was our social media. Social media is apart of all of my friends including myself lives. Wherever we go we feel this need to always carry our phones with us. Although I might say that I only use it for texting and making calls, in reality I spend most of my time checking Instagram or Snapchat. My parents always see my cell phone as a distraction. I will admit their will be times where I use my phone and I gained no new knowledge at the end, but their are times where the stories that I read or the videos I watch actually give me inspirations. For instance, Casey Neistat is a daily

In the workplace, there are many ways that gender affects my roles. My first job in high school was at a salon called Head to Toe and my gender played a huge role in my role in the workplace and the expectations placed on me. The first way that my gender played a role was I was expected to dress up for work every day. This meant styling my hair, putting make up on, and wearing nice clothes, even though I had to deal with chemicals with bleaching properties to clean the tools. This does make sense when looking at the line of work that I was in, but on days that I was working with chemicals or the week where I was painting the walls, I was still expected to dress up. My day to day tasks usually involved doing the laundry, getting drinks for customers, and working the register. None of these tasks were specifically given to me because of my gender, but my gender did play a role in how well I was expected to do them.
