GENDER (MEANING/NATURE/PERSPECTIVE)
is a social construct that impacts attitudes, roles,
responsibilities and behavior patterns of boys and
girls, men and women in all societies
EXAMPLE:
Teachers tend to praise girls for “good” behavior,
regardless of its relevance to content or to the
lesson at hand, and tend to criticize boys for
“bad” or inappropriate behavior
(Golombok&Fivush, 1994).
GENDER BIAS
is a preference or prejudice toward one gender
over the other. Bias can be conscious or
unconscious, and may manifest in many ways,
both subtle and obvious.
