    Gender-Role Influence On Girls In Childhood

    Girls’ behaviors could be modelized at their early ages. Family plays the key role of this kind of modulation. Girls are often asked to act politely and submissive, which results in the later behaviors when they become grown-ups. Also parents generally dress their daughters pink and purchase dolls as their toys instead of robots, this might contribute to particular stereotypes in their minds. In addition, in many families, images that nurses should be female and doctors ought to be male may lead to the wrong gender conceptions. Other sources such as televisions, newspapers, might also share the point that girls should be dependent. All of the social expectations above could cause a great…

    Aed/222 the Controversy of Medication

    There are some cases where students have been misdiagnosed or over diagnosed, but I do not feel as though we should simply look at that to determine whether or not a child should have these medications, we should look at all of the students it has benefitted greatly. It not only benefits the individual child on the medications, it also benefits the other students and the teacher in the child’s classroom. These students can cause big distractions in the classroom and cause their classmates to miss out on what is being taught as well as making the teacher waste time that could be used educating their students. With the right medications teachers and families can work together and…

    Issues surrounding Seizures Disorders

    Today children are diagnosed with disorders that impact their learning. Many schools are faced with challenges daily with students that have disabilities or disorders that impact their learning. However, as educators, hard work helps to conquer any barriers that are put before us. Even though strategies are applied, some things cannot be abolished. Our schools have to do their best to curtail any problems to help the student learn especially those students that have seizures. Children with epilepsy can be average learners that present very well in their academics and in social settings if the seizure is a mild version and has no confirmation of the brain being abnormal other than the inclination to seizure. On the other hand there are students that have severe seizures, non-ambulatory and uses a wheel chair. They tend to have lesser social- emotional and learning issues. In order for the teacher to work thoroughly with the student, the teacher has to know the student goals they have to meet, know all the specifics of the disorder, complications as a result of the disorder, financial effects, and assistance with the school system, treatment options, and rehabilitation.…

    Sexism In Classroom

    Stereotypes and biases affect our lives. Assumptions can lead to stereotypes and unfair thoughts about individuals and groups of people. Whether it is based on race, sexism, or several other categories we put individuals in, everyone is linked with a stereotype. However, depending on physical appearances, some individuals experience the callous realities of stereotyping more often and more severely. From an early age, most individuals learn or taught about stereotypes, therefore one they reach adulthood, they think that their assumptions are accurate and do not think about the stereotypes they impose upon others.…

    Mr Free Classroom Observation

    During this particular day of observing (my second day) I brought my textbook to refer to specific charts and descriptions of different types of disabilities. Vaughn, Bos, and Schumm (2003) listed a chart for signals for possible learning disabilities which I referred to while watching a student named Tim. Even though it was only 1st hour, Tim looked confused and exhausted. He was having trouble following directions even though it appeared that he was listening and trying to make sense of what the teacher was instructing him to do although he was easily distracted by any noise, sniffle or cough in the room. During a quiet time while the students were working on an assignment, I asked Mr. Free about Tim and he told me that not only did he have a learning disability but he also took medication for ADHD. When I went back to sit down and observe, I noticed that Tim could barely stay awake and seemed almost disoriented. Mr. Free signaled for me to go and help Tim one on one. As sort of an "icebreaker" I asked him why he was so tired. Tim then told me that every night its past 2 AM before he gets to sleep. I asked him if he was up playing video games or watching television, but he told me that his parents wouldn't allow that so he just stays in bed for hours before he is able to fall asleep. After reading our textbook, Vaughn, Bos and Schumm state that difficultly sleeping is an obvious sign of ADHD; however if he was taking medication one would think that it should be helping to control it. According to Vaughn, Bos and Schumm teachers should be working with the parents and doctor monitoring the medication. Obviously the medication wasn't working – and could even be the cause of Tim not being able to sleep at night, and if he isn't sleeping he can't learn to his best potential. After class, I discussed my concerns with Mr. Free,…

    Gender Differences Among Female Asian Students

    Do female Asian students who are enrolled in Vanderbilt University fake orgasm while having sex? In particular, would they feel compelled to conform to the submissive and subordinate controlling images that denigrate the Asian form of gender by faking orgasm when practicing sexual activities? In this proposed study, I will take a qualitative approach and examine the intersection of race, sexuality, and gender. For Asian students who migrated from their home countries, they face the difficulty in adjusting to both social norms as well as cultural norms that are drastically different from that of their hometowns. Being an international student myself, I believe that moving to a different country could be a life-changing transition that will have tremendous impacts on student’ lives in various aspects. Therefore, their sexual beliefs and practices are worth investigating. By considering the complexity of the intertwined social factors that result in Asian students’ experiences in Vanderbilt, I can take a look at female Asian international students’ sexual lives and beliefs.…

    Psychology - Gender Development

    After conception, each individual in the foetus will inherit 23 chromosomes from each parent (23 pairs overall). Out of these, 22 pairs of chromosomes will account for physical characteristics such as your height, hair colour, skin colour etc. Which means that 1 pair of chromosomes are responsible in your gender. In order to give birth to a male baby there must be a Y chromosome in the form of XY which is given by the sperm cell, it is in the absence of this chromosome that female babies are developed, producing an XX chromosome balance.…

    Effects of Gender Bias Text Books on Learners

    I. Foreword Pakistan is a country where religion – here Islam – plays an imminent role. More then 98% of its population belong to one of the Sunnite or Shia sects. 2 Important to know is also that more then 60% of its population is illiterate. Also out of the Mullahs, the religious leaders, many are not able to read or write! They just now a little of the Holy Qur’an by hearth and that is enough to play an important role in the village which can not be challenged by an ordinary man or woman because of lack of knowledge. Once the Islamic prayer “Rabbe sidni ilma” (God give me knowledge) was embedded in the thinking of the society. Today it seems that religion and politics are misused in Pakistan to keep the people shut their mouths. Since the take-over by the military dictator Zia ul Haq in 1977, the rate of illiteracy has risen. Also governments which were voted for after 1988 through the Pakistani voters were not able or willing to improve this situation. Even when Benazir Bhutto, the daughter of Zulifkar Ali Bhutto who was hanged by Zia, was Premier Minister, nothing changed to the positive in this matter – although she promised to do something and many women had put their trust and hope in her! One achievement of culture is its literature. Books play an important part in culture! Not only are they written records of the history of a nation but also give on traditions to the next generation. School textbooks are therefore a very powerful tool to give on information which form the children in their thinking and in their (future) behaviour. “Since 1988, Aurat Foundation [Aurat = Women], with the collaboration of UNICEF, has been working on textbooks from the perspective of portrayal of women.” 3 Ruquia Jafri worked on this topic and published the result of her analysis in “Gender Bias in Pakistani School Textbooks” which was updated in September 1994. She pointed out that…
