Research Questions:
1. Are female teachers more effective communicators? 2. Is there a difference between male and female teachers(as it relates to delivery of instruction--in various subject areas)?
Importance of research:
To find literature to support or refute the issue of gender and instruction. As a teacher, I feel that my gender helps and at times hinders my level of instruction. Desire to support my Professional Development with solid research that can "truly" detail this issue.
I think "case study" why?
* Centers around a particular situation or event. * One individual is the center of attention. * Intrinsic valus- desire to better understand the role of gender in classroom instruction.
exceptions: Desire to uncover the issues related to gender and classroom instruction.
Beliefs: women are natural born teachers, starting with the home life. Society expects women to be teachers of children.
assumptions: women are teachers in and out of classroom. I "think" we are more caring about the welfare of children and in the classroom--we give 100%(okay I'm bias)
