One explanation that has been offered as to why boys’ are under-achieving is the ‘feminisation of primary
schooling’.

This article begins by exploring the findings of a national survey of
student primary teachers towards gender roles and schooling. The views of the students indicated accordance with the idea that primary schools are feminised
and feminising environments. The discussion here critiques these notions and argues that current educational policy is not moving forward in a direction that will actively challenge conventional stereotyping. Rather, the move is towards one where notions of masculinity and femininity will be reinforced through a ‘re-masculinisation’ of primary schooling.

teachers appear to be either unaware of the related literature, or reluctant to engage in behaviours that have increased their vulnerability to accusations of sexual abuse or homosexuality.

A small study of men teachers in England, Sweden and New Zealand investigated the extent to which the men believed their teacher education had prepared them to teach in the gendered environment of the primary school. Teachers were also questioned about their views on gender differences in students and in the teaching
practices of male and female teachers. Although the size of the study restricts the validity of data, the differences between the teachers in England and New Zealand, and those interviewed in Sweden, suggest that further research is warranted. A societal emphasis on gender equity in Sweden was reflected in the
commentaries of Swedish men teachers on their pedagogical attitudes and actions relative to genderbased issues in schools. This emphasis was not evident to the same extent in England and New Zealand.

There has been an ideological link between women’s domestic role and their career as school teacher.

Taking care of younger children in school is traditionally seen as an “extension of motherhood” and therefore considered a “natural” job for women.

Keeping in view
this firmly rooted global phenomenon, the paper's focus is to examine what ideology idealizes and legitimizes school teaching as the best career for women in Pakistan.

The study is informed by social constructionist understanding of gender and therefore draws on feminist post-structuralist. Drawing on insights from feminist post-structuralist, the paper give particular consideration to the discourses embedded into school textbooks and the people who author and approve school knowledge.

Employing qualitative methodology, the paper focus on two key questions: 
1. What ideology informs school textbooks?
2. How do school textbooks legitimize school teaching as the only appropriate job for women? 

The study findings suggest that school textbooks in Pakistan have been used to naturalize and legitimize school teaching as the best career for women.

This small-scale qualitative-interpretive study, undertaken in one rural primary school in North Wales, explores how the learning of gender is constructed, enacted and challenged by participants functioning within Key Stage 2 (children aged 8–11 years), issues experienced by, both girls and boys, to cogitate implications for gender equity and for teachers' work. The fieldwork revealed that many school participants continue to draw upon essentialist binary discourse, predominantly based on biological theories, to explain differences between boys and girls relating to classroom behaviour, subject attainment, curricular preferences and career pathways.

Constant reference was made to acceptable ways of ‘doing masculinity’ and the ‘high-achieving, conforming school girl culture’. Children recognised gender binaries used by teachers and were aware of societal advances in gender equity. Despite decades of research and policies, we are still some way to ameliorating gender binaries and stereotypes in this phase of schooling. Therefore, there is an urgent need for practitioners to become more reflexively aware about the complex ways in which gendered dualisms and hierarchies perpetuate and dictate relations and pedagogical practices, which constrain experiences and opportunities for girls and boys and, to incorporate multiple ways of thinking and doing gender in classrooms.

The feminization of school hypothesis lacks empirical evidence. The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis by examining the extent to which school demands are
actually associated with female more than male students.

This highlights on the teachers' role in facilitating a classroom of learning to lower instances of gender bias.

The underlying assumption is that the increasing number of female teachers is leading to a lack of male role models, which may then have negative consequences for the achievement and behaviour of boys in particular. For this reason, policy is currently being pursued in several countries to increase the number of male teachers. In the present article, the theoretical foundation for this policy will be shown to be weak at best.

To test this empirically, a large-scale study of Dutch primary schools was conducted, which involved 5181 grade eight pupils, 251 teachers and 163 schools. This study confirmed that teacher sex has no effect whatsoever on the achievement, attitudes or behaviour of pupils. This finding holds for both boys and girls, for both minority and non-minority pupils and for both children from lower and higher socialeconomic milieus.]]> 2019-11-03 12:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/usha0704/gh29b3hiq19a/wish/405883677 tanjianlin86 https://padlet.com/usha0704/gh29b3hiq19a/wish/405884322 The paper reports on aspects of an ESRC project, ‘The impact of Performance Threshold Assessment on teachers’ work’ (ESRC R000239286). The paper begins by explaining the nature and technology of Threshold Assessment, and its location nationally within the performance management system recently introduced into schools in England. We review the monitoring procedures adopted for Round 1 of Threshold and draw attention to the limitations of such statistical data as are available. We locate Threshold within recent international developments characterised by managerialism and the culture of performativity that have increasingly come to dominate both the nature of policy-making and definitions of ‘professionalism’. Drawing on interview material gained from thirteen case studies carried out in primary and secondary schools and in Local Education Authorities, we analyse the ways in which Threshold Assessment carries different significance for women and men teachers, heads and threshold assessors. We conclude that the new policies represent a further step towards the masculinization of education. ]]> 2019-11-03 12:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/usha0704/gh29b3hiq19a/wish/405884322
