Read the given passage and answer the questions thatfollow (Q. No. 97 to 105) by selecting the most appropriate option.
Clearly the socialization of gender is reinforced at school.“Because classrooms are microcosms of society, mirroring itsstrengths and ills alike, it follows that the normal socializationpatterns of young children that often lead to distorted perceptionsof gender roles are reflected in the classrooms.” (Marshall, 1997).Yet gender bias in education reaches beyond socializationpatterns, bias is embedded in textbooks, lessons, and teacherinteractions with students. This type of gender bias is part of thehidden curriculum of lessons taught implicitly to students throughthe everyday functioning of their classroom.
Research has found that boys were far more likely to receivepraise or remediation from a teacher than were girls. The girlswere most likely to receive an acknowledgement response fromtheir teacher. They give boys greater opportunity to expand ideasand be animated than they do girls and that they reinforce boysmore for general responses than they do for girls. Clearly thesocialization of gender roles and the use of a gender-biased hiddencurriculum lead to an inequitable education for boys and girls.Gender bias in education is an insidious problem that causes veryfew people to stand up and take notice.
