Intro/Conc, process of gender typing/ sex typing (psychology)- acquisition…

- - - - child organises and encodes information about self according to cultures ideas of maleness and femaleness
        
        I think it suggests that gender is constructed rather than inherently biological and in terms of teaching schools have a big role/strong potential in recreating/carrying on/ perpetuating gender stereotypes and differences which is why I think it is important to look into both teacher and child perceptions of gender within the classroom
- - - - gender stereotypes expectations are often confirms even though they are false, as expectations often lead to self-fulfilling prophecies and to perceptual biases (see Jussim, Eccles, & Madon, 1996)

        self fullfilling prophecy-
        parental perceptions and child self-perceptions and task-perceptions influence the choices children make about their involvement in various activities
        
        differences in self-perceptions and skills influence the type of jobs and activities that females and males seek out and qualify for (shows that has or can have long lasting effects, although was written in 90s)
- - - - however recognise that gender socialisation is a complex, fragile and incomplete process (Ryle, 2015)
        
        although children engage in behaviour that often reinforces traditional gender norms, they may chose to ignore or reject certain discourses of masculinities or feminities, for example, they do not always select a same-sex friend to model or identify with a parent of the same sex
  - - - urge educators to introduce children to the concept of gendered power relations
    - - a feminitst post structuralist study of children 'doing' gender.-- children take active part in 'doing' gender by socially constructing meanings about femininities and masculinities from gender discourse available to them in their everyday lives
- - - - to me, this suggests that you need to provide children with the tools to reflect themselves on what they read and take in and therefore develop their own gendered identity which is not fixed/ is fluid
