How inequality base on gender impact society

Sample Solution

  Gender inequality has a profound impact on society. From access to resources, educational opportunities and career prospects to the way individuals are viewed in terms of their capabilities and roles within society, gender inequality influences an individual’s life significantly. Functionalists view gender inequality as necessary for maintaining healthy social order. They view it as essential for providing distinct roles within the family structure: breadwinner for men and homemaker for women. This division enables families to function efficiently with each member taking assigned tasks that best suit their abilities. Additionally, functionalists believe that gender segregation provides social stability by allowing males and females to pursue different paths when it comes to education and career choices which is beneficial in forming a well-rounded society filled with diverse skillsets.

Lesson 1 was an introduction to Python programming with students recalling knowledge from previous years. A detailed explanation of each stage of the lesson can be found in Appendix XX PART C lesson plan. Bruner (1960) believes that students revisiting information they have already covered will allow for them to further their knowledge and learn new things, called spiralling. An advantage of this approach is that students who recalled a lot of knowledge began to scaffold their peers and experiment with code without being conscious they were doing it. They were discussing key features of Python and communicated well together. A drawback of this method could be said that one of my students has not covered Python before, therefore is not revisiting knowledge but creating new knowledge. I didn’t find this to hinder progress due to students communicating and sharing their already existing knowledge scaffolding their peers. (SCAFFOLD REFERENCE) Using a flipped approach for this lesson by using worksheet 1 (Appendix) allowed for all students to make outstanding progress. Research into flipped maths teaching, carried out by National Foundation of Educational Research (NEFR, 2015) produced evidence that flipped learning allows more time for active class learning, collaborative learning and class discussion.(date) Class discussions are a big part of students being able to communicate effectively in order to deepen their understanding also supporting the development of literacy. Literacy is not just about reading and writing but being able to communicate. (The National Literacy Trust, 2014). Furthermore, students began to take more responsibility for their own work, at their own pace, resulting in a deeper understanding. Although this study was aimed at a maths environment, I agree with these findings. This method of teaching allowed me to do individual coaching with select students and students began taking ownership of their own learning which in turn was building their resilience to problem solving. Vygotsky (1978) states that, ‘By giving our students practice in talking with others, we give them frames for thinking on their own.’ To support Vygotsky’s statement, I monitored student’s verbal and non-verbal communications in order to see the progress of students beginning to complete programming tasks on their own using the methods laid out in this first lesson. Certainly by the end of the second lesson, students were beginning to think for themselves. LEARNING BY DISCVOERY. NATIONAL CURRICULUM????
