| description | This study was designed to increase gender equity awareness in elementary school teachers with
respect to student computer and technology usage. Using professional development methods with a
group of teachers, the writer attempted to help them become more aware of gender bias in
technology instruction. An analysis of the data revealed that teachers who were exposed to gender
equity professional development training sessions were more likely to exhibit gender equitable
teaching behaviors than they did prior to the sessions. The data also indicated that teachers provided
more equitable assistance to their classroom students after being presented with gender equity
interventions. |
