The Relationship Between Gender And Amount Of Participation

The Relationship between Gender and Amount of Participation in a Class In a classroom setting, who is more vocal in asking and answering questions men or women? This is the question we hope to answer in our naturalistic observation study. This question has been studied in numerous other observations. Dillon (2001) observed a high school classroom setting to see if male would participate more than women to see if â€Å"male predominance† of participation is true. He found that the number of times each gender participated was in proportion to the gender ratio of the class. This study goes against stereotypic beliefs that men would be more likely to speak in class. He goes on to suggest that perhaps gender differences in participation are related to the amount of representation in the class instead of sociocultural behaviors related to the sexes. Arbaugh (2000) explored the effects of gender participation during an online MBA course. He questioned if men and women have differing levels of learning and participation in an internet-based cou rse. He found that there were no substantial differences in learning. However, he did find a moderate difference in participation, with men finding it more difficult to participate in the course. Vecchione, Alessandri, and Marsicano (2013) measured the academic motivation between males and females. They observed 419 Italian students, ranging from 9 to 22 years of age and noted their motivation academically my measuring their schoolShow MoreRelatedRelationship Between Milk Market Participation Of Smallholder Households And Womens Intra Household Bargaining Power1652 Words   |  7 PagesIn this paper, we study the relationship between the milk market participation of smallholder households and women`s intra-household bargaining power in Ethiopia.
