RESUMEN SIMPOSIO INVITADO
The prevalence of gender roles and discrimination in some educational settings
Research continues showing several gender gaps in formal educational settings. For this purpose, the present aims at discussing evidence on the prevalence of gender-related stereotypes and discrimination in different educational settings. Incidentally, whereas young boys are encouraged by parents, school teachers, and other meaningful social actors to enroll in sports (such as football), girls are encouraged to enroll in sports such as gymnastics. Similarly, across secondary school years girls develop lower interest than their male counterparts in some STEM* subject areas. In addition, the training programs of future primary and secondary teachers reinforce the reproduction of gender roles and stereotypes about several academic competences. Some practical interventions sensitive to gender discrimination practices (including for instance the intersection of gender and ethnicity) in the context of secondary schooling and university will be also discussed.
