Option 1 : B and C
Gender-responsive pedagogy refers to teaching and learning processes that pay attention to the specific learning needs of girls and boys both without any discrimination.
Things to be done to implement Gender-responsive pedagogy in the classroom:
- Students can be asked to imagine themselves in the shoes of others like boys can imagine themselves in the roles of the girls and girls in the roles of boys.
-
Teachers can ask the students to analyze the following news items and hold discussions as to how it will help in breaking gender stereotypes in science.
-
This will help the students to uncover the seeming gender neutrality that being a human being is equivalent to usually being a man and that woman’s experiences are less visible.
-
The students can work with their textbooks with a lens of gender sensitivity so that they can see how textbooks represent men and women. Discussions can be held on how men and women are depicted and how frequently they occur in content, visuals, and illustrations.
- Use materials that portray female and male characters in equal numbers and are involved in similar activities. If not, the teacher should try to call on learners and help them challenge stereotypes in the portrayal of female and male characters in the teaching/learning materials used.
Hence B and C are the correct options.
On the other hand, giving more opportunities to girls and arranging remedial classes for girls and boys separately leads to gender bias which spoils Gender-responsive pedagogy implementation in the classroom.
