A. GENDER ROLES
Differences between Sex and Education
Sex
refers to the physical and biological differences between men and women made evident by physical distinctions in anatomical, chromosomal, hormonal, and physiological characteristics
Gender
refers to the social, psychological, and cultural attributes that distinguish males from females refers to the personal traits and social positions that members of a society attach to being female or male
Terminologies:
Gender roles a set of socially significant action associated with being male or female the composites of behavior typical of male or female in a given culture
Gender based beliefs ideas and expectations about what is appropriate behavior for males and females
Gender Identity the perception of oneself as either masculine or feminine
The dominant view in many societies is that gender identities are expression of what is natural. People tend to assume that acting masculine or feminine is the result of an innate biologically determined process rather than the result of socialization and social-learning experience.
Theories of Gender Development
Social Learning Theory
Asserts that parents, as the distributors of reinforcement, reinforce appropriate gender role behavior. By their choice of toys, by urging “boy” or “girl” behavior and by reinforcing such behavior, parents encourage their children to engage in appropriate behavior. If parents have good relationship with their children, they become models for their children to imitate, children also learn appropriate gender behavior from male or female models.(such as in television
