    EDM 616: COMPARATIVE EDUCATION (Assignment)

    GENDER AND EDUCATION


    QUESTIONS TO PONDER
    1. How does gender affect education?
    Gender can create certain expectations that affects the education of the learners,
    and the pressure of gender stereotypes can often lead to misunderstanding and
    misinterpretation. Gender differences may affect the learner’s educational outcome in
    terms of achievement, attainment, and experiences within the schools. In certain cases,
    teachers unconsciously influence gender role differences through the responses and
    choices they make for and on behalf of their learners. Gender roles in education marks
    how learners were expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct themselves based
    upon our assigned sex. For example, girls and women are generally expected to dress in
    typically feminine ways and be polite, accommodating, and nurturing. While boys are
    expected to be good in Physical Education. Thus, gender equality is necessary to achieve
    social, political, and economic development goals. Education plays an important role in
    challenging gender-based violence and unequal societies.
    In connection with this, the Department of Education supports the Gender and
    Development Program (GAD) which is a process that is empowering, equitable,
    sustainable, free from violence, respectful of human rights, supportive of self-
    determination and actualization of human potentials. This provides and pursues full
    equality and development for men and women, especially the learners. Furthermore, the
    Department encourages the teachers to use differentiated, developmentally appropriate
    learning experiences to address learners' gender, needs, strengths, interests, and
    experiences because they recognize that differences of learners greatly affect their
    learning.

    2. Why is gender important to education?
    Chi (2018) stated in her article that “it is important to consider the cognitive and
    affective formation of gender identity which develops in early childhood.” Early childhood
    forms and develop the attitudes of learners in their gender roles. Teachers, as the primary
    source of education, need to have gender awareness to be open to girls’ and boys’ choices
    in learning and development. They should be able to help children explore who they are,
    and make connections and interactions to people around them, as well as build trust, gain
    self-confidence, well-being, peer acceptance, and social support to one another. Through
    gender-sensitive approach, teachers can improve equal participation of all learners in a
    learning environment.
    In our school, we always consider the importance of gender in education. We
    prepare lesson plans that use differentiated and developmentally appropriate learning
    experiences to address learners' gender. As we help the learners to realize that gender
    equality is important, they gain confidence to access to essential resources such as
    education, information, income, and health which is beneficial to achieve the
    organizational goals of the Department of Education.
