    The document discusses three factors that contribute to gender inequality in the classroom: 1) Teachers pay more attention to boys, calling on and engaging with them more, 2) Interactions with boys are more public, encouraging girls to reserve comments for private conversations, and 3) Praise and criticism differ between boys and girls, with boys' knowledge valued more and girls praised more for behavior. The document then provides strategies for teachers to address gender inequality, such as using a group seating plan, group work, gender-neutral language, and equal discipline.

    ADDRESSING

    GENDER EQUALITY
    WITH TEACHING STRATEGIES
    MICHELLE B. CRUZ
    TEACHER II
    ONHS PARANG-PARANG
    Gender equality is achieved when
    women and men enjoy the same
    rights and opportunities across all
    sectors of society, including
    economic participation and
    decision-making, and when the
    different behavious, aspirations and
    needs of women and men are
    equally valued and favored.
    3 Factors That Contribute To Gender
    Inequality In The Classroom

    Contributing Factor #1: Teachers Pay More Attention


    to Boys
    According to a report sponsored by the American
    Association of University Women (AAUW), girls
    receive significantly less attention from teachers
    than boys do (1992).
    This is due in part to the fact that, in general, boys
    are more likely to call out answers to questions
    posed to the class even if they haven’t been called
    on by the teacher.
    3 Factors That Contribute To Gender
    Inequality In The Classroom

     Contributing Factor #1: Teachers Pay More


    Attention to Boys
     This trend may also exist because boys are
    often perceived as being more
    mischievous, causing teachers to monitor
    and engage with them more actively in
    class, giving a perceived ‘opening’ to
    speak without permission.
     Over time, this can discourage female
    students from speaking up even when they
    feel like they have something worthwhile to
    contribute to a discussion.
    3 Factors That Contribute To Gender
    Inequality In The Classroom

    Contributing Factor #2: Interactions with


    Boys are More Public
    Teachers often have a tendency to talk to
    boys from a greater distance than girls. This
    is possibly due to an expectation that they
    should communicate in a more nurturing
    way with girls and a more business-like way
    with boys.
    3 Factors That Contribute To Gender
    Inequality In The Classroom

    Contributing Factor #2: Interactions with Boys are


    More Public
    Because the entire classroom can often hear a teacher’s
    conversations with boys, this contributes to — at least the
    appearance of — teachers communicating more often
    and more casually with boys.
    This encourages girls to reserve their comments and
    questions for private conversations, denying them the
    chance to participate in primarily male-focused
    discussions.
    3 Factors That Contribute To Gender
    Inequality In The Classroom

    Contributing Factor #3: Praise & Criticism Differ


    Between Boys & Girls
    Though teachers aim to treat all students equally,
    there are often stark differences in the types of
    things boys and girls are praised or criticized for.
    For example, boys are often praised more than girls
    for sharing correct knowledge, and wrong answers
    provided by boys are likely to be overlooked.
    3 Factors That Contribute To Gender
    Inequality In The Classroom

    Contributing Factor #3: Praise &


    Criticism Differ Between Boys & Girls
    From this, an expectation arises that
    boys’ knowledge is more highly
    valued than that of girls, which can
    convince girls that they are less
    competent than boys.
    3 Factors That Contribute To Gender
    Inequality In The Classroom

    Contributing Factor #3: Praise & Criticism Differ


    Between Boys & Girls
    Another difference comes in the fact that girls are more
    often praised for good behavior, whereas boys are
    criticized more for bad behavior in the classroom.
    While this may seem like this difference would benefit
    female students, this trend actually places a greater
    emphasis on compliance as being essential to their
    academic success rather than simply learning and
    demonstrating knowledge.

    CLASSROOM SEAT PLAN

    THAT SUPPORTS

    EQUAL PARTICIPATION
    USE GROUP WORK
    USE GENDER NEUTRAL LANGUAGE

     Avoid using words like chairman, fireman, and stewardess when discussing
    careers or occupations. These are gender-specific; instead use the
    corresponding gender-neutral terms such as chairperson (or chair),
    firefighter, and flight attendant.
    USE

    NEUTRAL
