Gender Equality in the Classroom
After watching both videos, please respond to these prompts and reply to at least two of your learning community members.
The videos posted last week take about 2 hours to watch parts 1 and 2. Be sure to watch them both in their entirety to see the outcome of the gender equality experiment.
- What part of this study did you find most surprising? Why?
- What did you learn about the brains of 7 year old boys and girls from this video?
- What did you learn about the bodies of 7 year old boys and girls from the video?
- While this experiment was conducted on children that were age 7, how do you think
you can make similar changes in a classroom for 3-5 year olds?
- Do you think you as a teacher or parent treat girls and boys differently? What could you do personally to change some of your stereotypical interactions with children?
Do you think you will see classrooms and teacher interactions differently after watching this experiment?
Reply to at least two of your peers. WORD COUNT 200
IMPORTANT NOTE! If you post something, (like a period or other punctuation, or a letter or number) to open the discussion to view the posts of your peers, this is not appropriate. Other faculty members are aware of this. Apparently because this has been happening in other classes, instructors have been advised to remove the “edit and delete posts” feature. I want to share this information because you will begin to see a policy related to posting in discussions in other classes and this may affect your grade on discussion posts. If your instructor removes the edit and delete feature this should resolve the issue so there is no doubt involved when grading
