This dissertation explores the causes behind gender difference in BRAC
schools .The problem was derived from previous studies, which confirm
gender difference in mathematics in BRAC schools. Exploratory as well
as qualitative research strategy was used for the purpose. Because, such
strategy was thought suitable to find out the causes and the causes behind
the causes of the problem from different points of view. The study was
.... conducted in three BRAC schools, situated in a remote rural area of
Bangladesh. The data were collected mainly from classroom observation.
Besides, the students, parents, teachers programme organizers, teacher
trainer and other concerned persons were interviewed. Six case studies
were also done. All the data were collected by the researcher. Although
overall teaching learning process in BRAC schools was satisfactory
towards quality education but evidence of gender discrimination was in
place. The main causes of gender difference in mathematics are the
deprivation of the girls in family, society and schools, discriminatory
attitude to the girls by the teachers and the peer boys, and the inside
weaknesses of the BRAC school programme. Gender imbalance against
girls ·is a serious issue in the present day world including Bangladesh.
Some recommendations are made in order to remove the gender gap in
mathematics in BRAC schools. |
