Definition

  • To understand what is taught and learned in schools, curriculum researchers must explore understandings of masculinity and femininity because they are interwoven with formal school subjects, sports and clubs, and discipline and authority. Gender has always been a dimension of schooling with some differentiation, and often segregation, of females and males common worldwide. [Source: Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies; Gender Research]
