The Early Education of Males: Where Are We Failing Them?
Soderman, Anne K.; Phillips, Marian
Educational Leadership, v44 n3 p70-72 Nov 1986
Discusses four significant areas of gender differences that affect children's approach to formal education: psychosexuality, brain structure, developmental maturity, and academic achievement. Since young males lag in psychosocial development, teachers must learn to assess children's developmental abilities and plan suitable curricular activities for both sexes. Cites 10 references. (MLH)
