Week 11 Reflective Journal: - 31st August - 4th August 2023

 This week, I studied the behavior of my students compared with the other students I have come across. I have seen the practice of gender equality practiced by every classroom I entered. For this reason, I will provide three of the things that I noticed it was very related to the increasing gender inequality.

Firstly, year 8 KKT students usually contribute to this matter that they like to sit separately where girls on their own as well as boys on their own. In their seating places, they emphasized different types of interests where girls like to sing and study along together. While boys like to talk about game players, wrestling, and studying as well. They show different interests in what they like to watch, do, and talk about.

Moreover, the experiences inside the classroom are also different for each gender. The boys are more likely to hate participating in group work and quizzes, for they always thought that girls were smarter than them. This is not applied to all the boys but most of the boys gained lower scores to the pass mark. In this sense, they always thought they were not good at studying and other academic skills. While girls are likely to win over the score in every test, I prepared for them.

To conclude, I know it is very hard for girls to behave like boys and for boys to behave like girls, but if this belief is going to be continually practiced in young life, then they will remain and will repeatedly practice it when they grow up and most of all they will not get matured in their decision making.
