RESUMEN SIMPOSIO INVITADO
The
prevalence of gender roles and
discrimination in some educational
settings
Research continues showing
several gender gaps in formal
educational settings. For this
purpose, the present aims at
discussing evidence on the prevalence
of gender-related stereotypes and
discrimination in different
educational settings. Incidentally,
whereas young boys are encouraged by
parents, school teachers, and other
meaningful social actors to enroll in
sports (such as football), girls are
encouraged to enroll in sports such as
gymnastics. Similarly, across
secondary school years girls develop
lower interest than their male
counterparts in some STEM* subject
areas. In addition, the training
programs of future primary and
secondary teachers reinforce the
reproduction of gender roles and
stereotypes about several academic
competences. Some practical
interventions sensitive to gender
discrimination practices (including
for instance the intersection of
gender and ethnicity) in the context
of secondary schooling and university
will be also discussed.
