Four Levels

In this article, four researchers from Australia and South Africa consider why it is important for primary schools to include both male and female teachers. The authors refute previous calls directed by public and political discourse, for male teachers to enhance boy’s educational outcomes or to act as role models or father figures. Instead, the authors present a theoretical framework that justifies calls for male teachers at four levels: the child level, the classroom level, the organizational level, and the societal level. While complex barriers may continue to limit male teacher representation, the authors hope that this interdisciplinary framework might stimulate further international scholarly discussions about the interactions between teacher-gender, education, and culture.

The Future

Parents are the first people who will be role models for their children. Parents will be authoritative if there is a match between words and deeds. One of the roles of parents is to educate children according to their nature. This will affect their sexual orientation in the future. Both of parents, father and mother have an equal role in forming sexual orientation in children so that balance occurs and children are not biased about gender.

The Uk

The care and education of young children comprise one of the most gender-segregated occupations in the UK. Many a child in Scotland has no positive male influence in education until secondary school. Concerning pupils with behavioural or emotional difficulties, 71% are boys, and of those children excluded from school, 91% are boys. Boys who are doing much worse than girls educationally may be more likely to be involved in crime and have mental health problems and higher rates of suicide. They need positive role models who understand their actions and feelings. A boy may go from pre-school to primary with only female teachers, and not until secondary school may they develop a relationship with a male teacher. In such a world it is difficult for a child to experience the benefits of equality or fairness in relationships, and to develop a responsive male self-confidence.

The Impact

The impact of mixed teaching teams on learning quality and the outcomes of diverse target groups in a massive open online learning context in the workplace is scarcely analyzed. Insights from gender studies on female role models, research on team teaching in computer science as well as digitally supported learning do not transcend these separate areas and are therefore of restricted explanatory power. Accordingly, this session will answer the research question on how male-only and mixed teaching teams influence IT MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) in regard to the proportion of female learners, participation in the discussion forum, and success rates. This study will be backed by the learning data gathered in the time of running two courses about blockchain with 14,000 learners on our MOOC platform openHPI with a mixed teaching team and a male teacher. The courses are conducted entirely online and are open and free of charge. All the material provided can be accessed from any device connected to the Internet. As our MOOCs in the enterprise context address not only employees, but also partners, students and other interested (lifelong) learn-ers we will include a closer look at learners’ socio-demographic background, such as career status, highest degree, professional life, and position. Additionally, we statistically analyze accompanying survey data using research methods in social sciences. Finally, our session will highlight and discuss challenges of mixed teaching teams in IT MOOCs and possible solutions to support gender diverse online learners in the workplace.

Schools in the UAE have been undergoing radical educational reform over the past six years. Government schools are currently gender segregated from grade 1 and staffed by either male or female teachers, but not by both genders in the same school. In 2011 the Abu Dhabi Educational Council (ADEC) announced plans to completely feminise primary schools in the emirate. Emirati male teachers represent a small minority, but one which potentially has a very powerful significance, both culturally and educationally. This paper intends to explore male pre-service teachers’ perceptions of this issue.  Six male Emirati pre-service teachers were interviewed. Our findings show that during internship, they felt that their being male and Emirati was significant and positive, and that pupils were relating to them in a unique way as a result. We found that all had been extremely positively influenced by an Emirati male teacher as school pupils. Most thought that employing a system of feminization would be detrimental to young males seeking male role models and gave examples of the way in which they had observed this. The findings of this small-scale study have potentially significant implications for educational policy-makers in Abu Dhabi and other regions in the Gulf considering school feminization.
