Gender, Equity, and Schooling: Policy and Practice de Barbara J. Bank

Gender, Equity, and Schooling: Policy and Practice: Missouri Symposium on Research and Educational Policy

Editat de Barbara J. Bank, Peter M. Hall
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 1997
This volume provides readers with an understanding of the gendered nature of schooling and educational policy at multiple levels. It examines the roles of international agencies, national, state or provincial governments, local school administrations, teachers, and student peer groups. The actions of these groups affect the extent to which educational opportunities, treatment, and outcome are equitable not only by gender but also by race and class. The authors explain the nature of these actions, their interrelationships, their consequences, and the reasons why they often have unintended effects. In addition, the book examines the relationships among gender equity, academic achievement, and educational reform.

Recenzii

"This is the right book at the right time: a wonderful selection of articles pulling together current research on single-sex schools. By providing relevant findings on both sides of the issue, the editors have chosen to inform rather than persuade. This book respects the reader, the research, and the fact that there is much yet to learn. Read this important book and draw your own conclusions about the promises and pitfalls of single-sex and coeducation." -- David Sadker, American University, co-author of Failing at Fairness: How Our Schools Cheat Girls
"Gender, Equity, and Schooling takes on the tough questions of how to define and obtain gender equity in education in the next century. It lays bare some of the basic contradictions and the paradoxes of gender equity that are often ignored by over-zealous reformers, policy makers, and educational researchers. The issue of separate and unequal (or equal) receives considerable, much needed, and meritorious attention in this book. Similarly, the issue of the gender gap in schooling is considered and the politically correct image of girls only as victims is challenged. This book is essential reading for anyone with concerns about truly creating gender equity in education." -- Cornelius Riordan, Professor of Sociology, Providence College
