    ACTIVITY 5

    1. What is Gender and development?

    In my own understanding gender and development is an approach or perspective that


    recognizes the unequal status and situation of women and men in society. It focuses on the
    socially constructed differences between men and women that marked a shift in thinking about
    the need to understand how women and men are socially constructed and how those
    constructions are powerfully reinforced by the social activities that both define and are defined
    by them. To fully understand the gender development the topic that is connected with this is
    about knowing what is the function of gender, gender roles, gender identity, psychological and
    social influences on gender identity and many more. This approach is not concerned specifically
    with women, but with the way in which a society assigns roles, responsibilities and expectations
    to both women and men. This approach aims to achieve the policies set in relation with the social
    norms and traditions in one country. In short it also focuses on the gendered division of labor and
    gender as a relation of power embedded in institutions.

    2. In your own words explain each theory of gender and Development?

    There are two theories in gender development:

    Social Learning Theory

    For me in social learning theory it explains that what parents’ perspective and
    practices they have learned about the gender development will be their children’s gateway in
    acquiring it because as we all know the first behavior and learnings that children acquired is from
    the parents or inside the house. In this theory it sees parents as the main distributors of
    reinforcement of appropriate role behaviors. In which, it means that the role of the parents has
    something to do in the role and behaviors of their children in order to identify appropriately their
    gender identity. For example, through reinforcing their children their choice of toys, based from
    their identity if it’s boy therefore they will give a boy toys and same for girl behavior. Through
    this behavior it really means that the parents engage their children in gender appropriate
    behavior.

    As a whole parent are the first transmission of behavior that children’s acquire in relation
    to identifying their children’s gender identity.

    Cognitive - Developmental Theory

    For me Cognitive - Developmental Theory is about how children think, explore and
    figure things out. It is the developmental theory of knowledge, skills, problem solving and
    dispositions, which help children to think about and understand the world around them.

    In my own understanding this theory is explained by Lawrence Kohlberg with his


    speculation based on the original theory of Jean Piaget about how children develop their ability
    to think and reason. In Piaget’s theory it explains about the Pre operational stages where children
    can make mental representation and is able to pretend, imagine and ever closer to the use of
    symbols or language. This Pre operational stages is also known as the Symbolic – Stage.
    Kohlberg used this description to explain gender or understanding of the children’s role in a
    social context where for him in using that stages it means the beginning of the process of
    acquiring gender appropriate behavior.

    There is also one theory supported under the Cognitive - Developmental Theory which is
    the Gender Schema theory, a gender schema that is about a set of observed or spoken rules for
    how social or cultural interactions should happen, in which to organize much of their behavior
    and that of others. Wherein children look for role models to emulate maleness or femaleness as
    they grow older.
