The purpose of the study was to examine preservice teachers'
perceptions towards gender issues in education. It also examined
whether gender issues are an integral component of prospective
teacher training. This was done using focus group methodology
supplemented by "self appraisal" questionnaires.
Five themes were persistently a part of the students'
perceptions of gender issues. Theses themes were: a) the
prescribed roles of males and females ; b) the invisibility of
gender inequity; c) the importance of practice teaching; d) the
belief that gender issues are female issues and; e) the resistance
to gender equity initiatives. One theme that emerged from the
focus group sessions that was not found in the literature was that
of harassment of female student teachers by male teachers and
students.
The results also suggest that gender continues to be a major
organizational construct within educational institutions and that
the problematization of gender continues to be ignored despite
increased awareness and discussion of gender inequity in education
