Название: Gender and Education: An Encyclopedia. Two volumes

Автор: Bank B.J.

Аннотация:

In prior decades, this work might have focused on women, but today’s scholars and researchers look at the issues that surround males and females relative to educational experiences. The volumes are divided into 10 parts, each consisting of an introduction and 3 to 23 chapters. Essays range from four to eight pages and generally cover the history and main issues of the designated topic. A short list of references and further readings conclude each chapter. Chapters vary in the degree to which seminal research is mentioned and research directions are posed. A paragraph about each of the 70-plus contributors concludes each volume. Part 1 introduces a dozen “gendered theories of education,” among them queer theory and social constructivism. Part 2 looks at research. Several useful educational data sets are listed, with strategies on their use. Part 3 covers various schooling experiences, from homeschooling to military colleges. Single- and coed institutions are explored from several perspectives. Part 4 deals with gender issues found in official curriculum. Intelligence tests, college retention, and other measures of achievement are discussed in part 5. Part 6 explores such extracurricular topics as fraternities and cheerleading. Gender issues in the “hidden curriculum” (that is, the rules, regulations, and routines typical in schools and classrooms) are the subject of part 7. Peer groups are considered in part 8. Part 9 focuses on gendered teaching and administration, although it should be noted that support personnel other than counselors (e.g., librarians, reading specialists, technology specialists) are not mentioned. The last part covers several educational policies that touch on gender, among them Title IV, student rights, and faculty evaluation; both student and adult gendered issues are described. A name index and adequate subject index close the volumes. This encyclopedia is best described as an anthology of relevant essays. In some chapters, the major research and issues are clearly laid out, but in most cases, the approach is broad stroke, providing historical context and typical practices. Nevertheless, this set, which is also available as an e-book, is a useful addition to the field.
