It is predominant in all aspects of education such as enrolment and retention, curriculum, classroom exercises, teacher-student interaction, disciplinary practices, play provisions, seating arrangements, assigning of roles and responsibilities, perceptions of parents and teachers etc. endobj In Reay's study, the fact that the spice girls asserted themselves in ways contrary to traditional femininity caused them to be labeled by teachers as "real bitches". In Ontario, Education Minister Janet Ecker said that the results of the standardized grade 3 and grade 6 testing in math and reading showed, "...persistent and glaring discrepancies in achievements and attitudes between boys and girls." Gender socialization is a more focused form of socialization, through which individuals take on gendered qualities and characteristics and learn what the society expects of them as males and females. Teach them ways to address hurtful gender put-down. endstream Gender disparity is only one facet of a much larger issue of equity within education. "Over the course of years the uneven distribution of teacher time, energy, attention, and talent, with boys getting the lion's share, takes its toll on girls." (Sadker, 1994) In fact, upon entering school, girls perform equal to or better than boys on nearly every measure of achievement, but by the time they graduate high school or college, they have fallen behind.

"Gender Bias in School Education." While research shows that the use of gender-equitable materials allows students to have more gender-balanced knowledge, to develop more flexible attitudes towards gender roles, and to imitate role behaviors contained in the materials (Klein, 1985) schools continue to use gender-biased texts: Clearly the socialization of gender roles and the use of a gender-biased hidden curriculum lead to an inequitable education for boys and girls. Clearly the socialization of gender is reinforced at school, "Because classrooms are microcosms of society, mirroring its strengths and ills alike, it follows that the normal socialization patterns of young children that often lead to distorted perceptions of gender roles are reflected in the classrooms." The girls were most likely to receive an acknowledgement response from their teacher. Access to education is a fundamental right of both women and men and the right to free and compulsory primary education, without discrimination has been reaffirmed in all major international human rights rules. endobj More on Implicit Bias. O'Neill, T. (2000) Boys' problems don't matter. In their study focusing on how the effects of a gender resource model would affect gender-biased teaching behaviors, Jones, Evans, Burns, and Campbell (2000) provided teachers with a self-directed module aimed at reducing gender bias in the classroom.
However, by making efforts to break down traditional gender roles in the classroom, you can better prepare students to seek knowledge and participate more fully in discussions and other learning opportunities in many fields, regardless of their gender.
The socialization of gender within our schools assures that girls are made aware that they are unequal to boys. Klein, S. (1985) Handbook for Achieving Sex Equity Through Education. "Until educational sexism is eradicated, more than half our children will be shortchanged and their gifts lost to society." In a recent study, the random assignment of a short-term loving-kindness meditation reduced implicit bias toward a targeted group, though it didn’t decrease implicit bias for other groups not targeted by the meditation. (Sadker, 1994) Teachers are generally unaware of their own biased teaching behaviors because they are simply teaching how they were taught and the subtle gender inequities found in teaching materials are often overlooked.
