Student Teacher Attitudes to Sex Role Stereotyping: some Australian data

Abstract: The sex role attitudes of 461 teacher education students were measured on a 32-item questionnaire. Chi-square analyses produced significant effects for gender on 22 of the items, showing that the females were more egalitarian than the males. However, most of the students adopted an egalitarian stance on many, though not all, of the items. Responses to some items (women getting drunk and swearing, corporal punishment, boys doing heavy chores, and boys dressing up and playing with dolls) suggest that some tradit… Show more

“…Males and females have different roles in life and at work (Massey and Christensen 1990;Colley and Comber 2003) and they are exposed to different kinds of stress factors, so they become more or less vulnerable at experiencing negative feelings (Roxburgh 1996). Reviewing a great deal of research, Shear, Feske, and Greeno (2000) concluded that females tend to feel more stress, anxiety and depression because of: (1) Gender roles: women are generally taught to be fearful, dependent, submissive, and passive, whereas men are taught to be courageous, autonomous, achievement oriented and active; (2) Gender-role stress: rigid adherence to masculine or feminine gender roles may cause individuals to be distressed; (3) Social relationships: because of their high levels of expectations from interpersonal relationships, when relationships are troubled women feel more distressed than men do and (4) Gender differences in exposure to social adversity (e.g.…”

“…Rarely the gender of the students was explored in relation to the teacher's gender. However, numerous studies examined patterns of interactions in relation to gender differences (Lockheed & Harris, 1984;Sadker, Sadker & Bauchner, 1984;Massey & Christensen, 1990;Rodriguez, 2002;Einarsson & Granström, 2002) with most documenting greater amounts of teacher attention directed toward boys rather than girls (as cited in Krieg, 2005). Most importantly, work on gender and learning basically focuses on gender stereotypes from a male perspective, examining, for example, the processes through which they are formed, their effects on social perception and behavior (e.g.…”

“…Κοινή διαπίστωση των ερευνών είναι πως οι εκπαιδευτικοί δέχονται την ισότητα ως θέµα αρχής και δηλώνουν υπέρ της πολιτικής των ίσων ευκαιριών, οι απόψεις τους όµως για επιµέρους θέµατα που αφορούν στην ισότητα των φύλων, καθώς και οι καθηµερινές τους πρακτικές πολύ συχνά δεν συµβαδίζουν µε την θεωρητική τους τοποθέτηση (Massey & Christensen, 1990;Riddell, 1989;Pratt, 1985˙ Stanworth, 1986. Οι ίδιοι δεν θεωρούν πως το πρόβληµα της ανισότητας είναι εκπαιδευτικό πρόβληµα, και, ενώ είναι πλήρως εµπλεγµένοι στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία, τις περισσότερες φορές είναι εντελώς ανυποψίαστοι για το ρόλο του σχολείου στην αναπαραγωγή των ανισοτήτων ανάµεσα στα φύλα (Acker, 1988˙ Altani, 1992˙ Κανταρτζή, 1996˙ Plucker, 1996˙ Tsouroufli, 2002.…”

“…Στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία, όπου η έρευνα για τις απόψεις εκπαιδευτικών, σπουδαστών και µαθητών ξεκίνησε από τη δεκαετία του '70, παρατηρείται µια µετατόπιση όλων των παραπάνω οµάδων από πιο συντηρητικές προς πιο προοδευτικές σε σχέση µε τους ρόλους των φύλων θέσεις. Οι Massey & Christensen (1990) διερεύνησαν τις στάσεις 461 Αυστραλών σπουδαστών-µελλοντικών εκπαιδευτικών απέναντι στους ρόλους των φύλων και σύγκριναν τα δικά τους ευρήµατα µε εκείνα προγενέστερων ερευνών. Από τη σύγκριση διαπίστωσαν µια αλλαγή στάσεων στο χρόνο προς την κατεύθυνση της ισότητας.…”
