The issue is whether the student based teacher evaluation is gender biased. Gender bias is a common social vice that is described as the subjective perception that some people are better positioned to perform some task based on their masculinity of their femininity. For instance, most societies hold that boys or men are better at academics, rationality and in most cases possess socially unruly behavior while their female counterparts are socially interactive, more disciplined and better in arts and languages (Templeton, 2016). With such gender-based bias ingrained in the society, the fundamental question is whether students are affected by ...

The factors that compromise a young person’s ability to obtain a tertiary level education are socioeconomic disadvantage, rural location, and being an indigenous Australian (Wierenga, Landstedt & Wyn 2013, p. 4). Stafford, et al. (2007, Mental Health, para. 1) define ...

The issue I choose to speak about is gender equality in the college campus. This issue was raised due to what appears to be a trend in many college campuses today. In order to understand why this situation exists today, there is an urgent need to identify the reasons why there are less male students applying for acceptance in college campuses, whereas the number of female applicants keep increasing every year. According to the article “To all girls I’ve rejected,” there are more female applicants than male every year, and this tip the balance off in terms of ...

The school guidance counselor plays a special role when it comes to enforcing equal opportunity in schools. Unfortunately, despite federal legislation and a move towards greater equality in recent years, there is still inequality in American public schools (Carpenter, 2005). The school guidance counselor must be aware of the many issues that students, particularly women and minority students, face in their school environment. One of the major functions a school guidance counselor plays is to create a safe space for students to express themselves, and to ensure that educational opportunities are extended to all the students in a school, not only those who are ...

Despite the fact that in 1996, Supreme Court Justice Scalia called single-sex education in public schools “functionally dead,” Single-sex education has become an increasingly popular model in schools since the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was passed.

The data to be used in the study was collected from university of Manitoba. The researcher decided that both male and female students performed equally well in the subject of mathematics. The researcher decided to test this hypothesis using independent sample t-test. According to Gardiner, W. P. & Gettinby, G. (1998), independent sample t-test is used when the variables tend to be normally distributed. In this case according to Ott, L. & Longnecker, M. (2010), the assumption of equal variance ...

My initial hypothesis

Young adolescent people approach mathematical problems differently considering their gender. The methods that that the females use to approach mathematical problems are different from the approaches taken by their male counterparts. Traditionally, male students have been said to have a natural ability in mathematics and females have been attributed to less confidence and less learning styles. The thoughts of male students being much better than their female counterparts in mathematics seem real and ones that I can support because males tend to major in mathematical fields than females. Males have proven over time to be more successful in mathematics than ...

There are various issues related to gender in the teaching ecology.

Response

In chapter six, the author addresses gender issues among the male and female students through independent reading. An excerpt of interview with Nikki is used. Indeed, from the readings most females are placed at dangerous situations and depict women in submissive ways. This is especially even in our current society and most novels, where women are deemed weak, helpless, and as a result should give in to the desires of their male counterparts. Gender plays out as prominent throughout the chapter. The society addressed in this chapter has made it normal that the feminine gender is weak. The regular ...

Using this approach, a search was made of the newspaper’s website using the term “social deviance;” only a few results appeared that were less ...

It is widely believed and expected that women tend to be more reserved than men when it comes to express their interests at the workplace. They tend to shy away from being vocal about their rights or their dues. In other words, it is almost certain that women don’t ask for much. Whatever they fear for may not be definite or defined, but they definitely have a problem when it comes to negotiating their compensation rates as compared to their male counterparts (Booth, 2009).

In exploring this aspect, Babcock and Laschever (2003) conducted a study about ...
