Also it is a disappointment that researchers would base their analysis based on only the student comments. Students and I know this from experience do not always tell the truth or write thoughtful answers on course evaluation sheets. Some students answer their questions based on how well or not so well they liked their teacher. On whether or not they like their teacher is not always based on their teaching ethics, but maybe just the was the teacher is. For example I once had a math teacher that I didn\u2019t like, but that teacher was the one that I have learned the most from. If I was in this survey I would say that my preference would not be based on what gender the teacher was, but it would be on how they teach. My opinion because I did have a female biology teacher and I have a male physics teacher now, I think that it doesn\u2019t matter the gender, I enjoyed being in my biology class and I enjoy being in physics class, I still learned a lot in biology and I am learning a lot in physics. It\u2019s not based on the teacher\u2019s gender it\u2019s just mainly their attitude towards teaching or the class. I think that there are more males that have majored in the science world but it doesn\u2019t mean that they are better teachers for this subject. It just means that there are more males. The women in this field could be just as smart as a male professional or even smarter.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"19294099","dateCreated":"1264492584","smartDate":"Jan 25, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"TarynPascua","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/TarynPascua","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1264492619\/TarynPascua-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/19294099"},"dateDigested":1532140675,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Response","description":"I thought the article was unsurprising. Based on what happens in my classes, boys do not respect the female teachers as much as they respect the male teachers. I believe a possible reason for this is because males (whether it\u2019s conscious or unconscious) do not like to be in a position beneath a female.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe article talks about \u201cratings\u201d a lot. It was mentioned that a teacher would receive a higher rating of they related a topic to real world examples. Studies have shown that female teachers received a lower rating than their male counterparts. Does this mean that female teachers fail to link academic topics to real world situations? And if this is true, would it be their fault that they have a lower rating than the males? On the other hand, if female teachers are preparing their students for college just as well as the males, maybe real life examples are not necessary.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI agree with researcher, Zahra Hazari, in saying that a predetermined role for men and women play a large part in the ratings. Like many other professions, teaching was one a male dominated career. If a student enters a classroom with that mindset, it will be a huge disadvantage to the female teacher because there is really nothing she can do to change the student\u2019s mind.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn short, it is not the teacher\u2019s fault if a student\u2019s mind cannot be changed. Stereotypes stay inside the corner of our minds whether we are aware of it, or not.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"19293299","dateCreated":"1264484420","smartDate":"Jan 25, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"lumis5","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/lumis5","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/19293299"},"dateDigested":1532140675,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"wow","description":"Wow, this was a very interesting article that clearly promotes stereotypes within genders about teaching in classrooms. Women have come a long way in history in building equality with men and I believe that this article is a setback for everything women have worked for. It is wrong to judge women about their level of knowledge and teaching based on stereotypes that have existed for ages; stereotypes are difficult to get rid of. They say that this information may affect people\u2019s choices when choosing college majors, but it should not. In past history, maybe women did not have as vital roles as men did, but our generation is just beginning to build a society full of a variety of different experts, both men and women. Women have discovered great roles in the world whether through science, political roles, etc and have made a difference in many people\u2019s lives. They could find the answers to cures and other inventions in the future that our existence depends on. I believe the responses to the surveys could be based on stereotypes and other factors not including the actual school work (for example, presentation) People cannot say that there are no women teachers in our society that cannot teach us science well because there are, I had one. I believe that any human has the potential to be at the top in anything they want. The level of success should not be based on what gender you are, but how hard you work. After reading the end of the article, I was relieved to find out that they proved the gender-bias situation false, and that women teachers are just as effective as men.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"19280619","dateCreated":"1264462030","smartDate":"Jan 25, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"kenagata","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kenagata","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/19280619"},"dateDigested":1532140675,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"oh my!","description":"I was very shocked to read the information given in this article! I would think that students would rate female teachers higher than males because being a teacher is stereotypically known to be more of a women\u2019s job.  However, I also can understand why males have been rated higher over the years.  I feel that these gender biases are judged mostly on how each present themselves in front of a class.  Generally speaking, most men are more intimidating to perform under, therefore more students will put more effort into completing their homework and doing well on quizzes and tests with the fear of punishment.  I honestly don\u2019t think that one sex is superior to the other in the science world.  Women have proven to be just as capable if not better in academics than men are.  For example today there is a higher percentage of women attending college than men do.  I personally don\u2019t think that we can get away from these stereotypes.  Men are always going to present themselves in a more intimidating and forceful way.  Everyone is going to have their own personal experiences with the opposite sex to base their outlook on their strength and superiority.  I think the best thing to do is to keep proving to men and possibly other women that we are capable of being just as good as men are said to be.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"13624101","dateCreated":"1250659937","smartDate":"Aug 18, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"MsFalk","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/MsFalk","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1250807416\/MsFalk-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/13624101"},"dateDigested":1532140675,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Test","description":"Testing discussion post!","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"13624125","body":"Testing reply","dateCreated":"1250660105","smartDate":"Aug 18, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"MsFalk","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/MsFalk","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1250807416\/MsFalk-lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
