Difference In Perception of Academic Under-achievement by the Teacher's Gender
Abstract
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effects of teacher's gender on the perception of academic under-achievement in the elementary school setting. To examine if male-teacher and femaleteacher would have different perception on academic under-achievement by student's gender, specifically, male and female teachers were randomly assigned into two groups. While one group received scenarios describing male student showing the symptoms of academic under-achievement, the other group received scenarios describing female student showing the symptoms of academic under-achievement. After reading each scenario, teachers rated the degree of student's academic under-achievement. Male teachers who received female student scenario reported the highest possibility on student's academic improvement. That is, male teacher has gender stereotype regarding the student's gender. Based on the results of the current study, the implications for the school practitioners and the limitations of the current study were discussed.
