● Stables and Winkely(1996)
- Where there is a choice to choose subjects in the National Curriculum(e.g. A-
levels or GCSE) boys and girls tend to choose differently
- Big differences in A-level and GCSE options→boys tend to choose maths
and science subjects, while girls tend to subjects like sociology and English
● Institute of Physics(2012)→girls that have chosen physics as an A-level subject
are said to have been” stubbornly consistent”(around 20% for over 20 years)
- Vocational Courses tend to have a large amount of gender segregation→e.g.
Only one in 100 childcare apprentices are boys(gender domains?)
Gender role socialisation
● Norman(1998)
- Socialisation at an early age encourages children to take part in different
activities(e.g. Clothing→dress sense, different toys to play with)
- Shapes children's gender identity
● Byrne(1979)
- Teachers encourage boys to be tough and rough(hyper-masculinity)→not
act weak
- Teachers encourage girls to be quiet, helpful, clean and tidy
