Teaching EMRS TGT Mock Test 2023 Child Development and Pedagogy Gender: A social construct Gender Roles
In middle and high school it is observed that boys perform better than girls in mathematics. Critical analysis of this situation points out that the reason for this is that:
1
Girls have poor logico-mathematical skills
2
Mathematics is not for girls
3
Girls are socialised to believe that mathematics is considered to be a 'masculine domain' and hence it is difficult
4
Boys are naturally inclined to like numbers and mathematics
