Angel Duduzile Dlungwane; Vijay Hamlall – Perspectives in Education, 2024
School-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) is a major obstacle to universal schooling and the right to education for girls. Inequitable gender norms and stereotypes, based on hierarchies and forms of subordination, amplify and contribute to the SRGBV. Extensive literature on gender-based violence in South African schools exists, and much of it…

Hilton, Gillian L. S. – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2023
This paper explores the move towards an all-female teaching force, particularly in the developed world, where men are turning their backs on the profession. It attempts to gather the evidence as to what is affecting men's choice to reject teaching as a career. It explores the possible causes of this change, which has been increasing over the last…

Mauricio Gómez Montoya – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Men are often characterized as unwilling to ask for help when they experience problems (Addis & Mahalik, 2003; Farrimond, 2012; Wimer & Levant, 2011). This unwillingness to seek help by men extends to the academic realm as well (Malone, 2021; Marrs et al., 2012; Wimer & Levant, 2011). This is a study about student success and aims to…

Joann Wilkinson; Jeremy Davies; Jo Warin – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2024
Currently the number of men working in early years education in England is very low at 2%. This stubbornly resistant workforce pattern matters because it perpetuates the entrenched gender stereotype of young children's education and care as women's work. It is extraordinary to find this corner of gender statis in a world that is supposedly in the…

Michael V. Singh – Harvard Educational Review, 2024
In this qualitative study, Michael V. Singh deconstructs how and why Latino men teachers are asked to perform a culturally relevant manhood in the classroom. He looks at the ways these teachers experience and navigate the heteropatriarchal expectations associated with their teaching and gender performance, which are often (mis) framed as…

Ahl, Helene; Hedegaard, Joel; Golding, Barry – Australian Journal of Adult Learning, 2023
This paper proposes a new theory of Conditional Social Equality (CSE) which in some ways challenges the theory of cumulative advantage/disadvantage (CAD), which postulates that inequalities and social divisions necessarily increase over time. Using evidence from informal learning groups in Men's Sheds in three countries, we conclude that some…

Michaela Moodley; Moeniera Moosa – Perspectives in Education, 2023
Worldwide, male teachers in the Foundation Phase (FP) are a rarity, given the perception that the teaching of younger children is more suited to females than to males. Little research has been conducted in South Africa on the factors that influence men to become Foundation Phase teachers. This study investigated the motives of male student…
