Perceptions of child sexual abuse and statutory rape vary based on the gender of the victim, the perpetrator, and the combination of both. We extend existing research to examine attributions of responsibility and punitive preferences for student victims in student–teacher sexual relationships contingent on the gender dyad of the student and teacher and the interaction between the gender dyad and respondent gender. Participants ( N = 648) were randomly assigned to vignettes wherein the gender of the student and teacher were manipulated (female teacher/male student; female teacher/female student; male teacher/female student; male teacher/male student). Overall, respondents were “pro-victim,” though results indicate significant differences in respondent gender and how the gender dyads were perceived. Students in the male same-sex dyads were attributed less responsibility than other students. Furthermore, men were less likely to perceive the student as a victim, and women were more likely to indicate the student should be punished.

The purpose of this study was to describe the creative thinking skills of junior high school students based on mathematics anxiety and gender. Aspects of creative thinking skills used in this study are fluency, flexibility, and novelty. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The instruments used were open-ended questions consisting of algebra and geometry questions, mathematics anxiety questionnaires, and interview guidelines. The study was conducted in class IX E of SMPI Al Azhar 12 Rawamangun Jakarta. The subject of this study consisted of four students, they are male student with low mathematics anxiety, female student with low mathematics anxiety, male student with medium mathematics anxiety, and female student with medium mathematics anxiety. The results of the mathematics anxiety questionnaire showed that none of the students in class IX E had high math anxiety. There are differences in the fulfillment of aspects of creative thinking in terms of differences in mathematics anxiety and gender levels. Students with low math anxiety fulfill aspects of fluency, flexibility, and novelty in algebra and geometry questions. Students with medium math anxiety fulfill aspects of fluency and flexibility both in algebra and geometry questions. Female students fulfill aspects of fluency, flexibility, and novelty both in algebra and geometry questions. Male students fulfill aspects of fluency and flexibility in algebra questions, while in geometry questions the aspects that are fulfilled are fluency, flexibility, and novelty.

The paper elaborates on the relation between marriage and the family, on one hand, and marriage-like and family-like homosexual unions such as so-called homosexual marriage and same-sex union (or same-sex life partnership). With a brief theoretical introduction and a comparative overview of the manner in which this matter is regulated in other countries, certain solutions are analyzed from the Proposal Draft Law on Same-Sex Unions of Serbia (2021). It is indicated that it is no longer possible to equalize marriage and the family with the same-sex union because the content of these concepts is substantially different. The society is interested in protecting marriage and the family and to take special care of them since they perform extremely important social functions, whereas without some of them the survival of the society itself would be brought to question (the reproduction function). On the other hand, homosexual marriage and/or same-sex unions do not perform any social function, but are formed exclusively for the purpose of relatively longer-standing satisfaction of sexual needs of same-sex partners. Since the society and the state do not protect marriage only because sexuality is regulated within it, but because it legitimizes sexual relationships aimed at having children, in the event of homosexual marriage-like unions it should also be proceeded in an identical manner: solely those rights and obligations of partners deriving from a relatively longer-standing homosexual partnership should be legally regulated. Moreover, having in mind the principle that every man's right is limited by other people's rights, it is impermissible to give priority to the protection of the rights of same-sex partners for the purpose of longer-standing homosexual relationships over the protection of children's rights. Children need both a father and a mother (an ideal condition), and the family in which they will be socialized. In line with those homosexual marriage-like unions, neither adoption nor assisted insemination can be allowed.

Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan berpikir kritis dalam menyelesaikan masalah identitas trigonometri ditinjau dari gender di SMA. Dalam pengambilan subjek dilakukan dengan cara think a loud. Siswa yang cenderung memenuhi kriteria berpikir kritis selanjutnya dikelompokkan berdasarkan gender. Berdasarkan data jenuh yang diperoleh berdasarkan masing-masing gender, selanjutnya di ambil masing-masing satu orang untuk dianalisis kemampuan berpikir kritis. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kemampuan berpikir kritis ditinjau dari gender dalam menyelesaikan masalah identitas trigonometri diperoleh bahwa siswa yang berjenis kelamin laki-laki dan siswa yang berjenis kelamin perempuan cenderung memenuhi 5 indikator berpikir kritis yaitu (1) mampu merumuskan pokok permasalahan; (2) mampu mengungkapkan fakta yang dibutuhkan dalam menyelesaikan suatu masalah; (3) mampu memilih argumen yang logis, relevan dan akurat; (4) mampu mendeteksi bias berbeda pada sudut pandang berbeda dan (5) Mampu menentukan akibat dari suatu pernyataan yang di ambil sebagai suatu keputusan. Dalam proses penyelesaian berdasarkan tahapannya tampak bahwa siswa perempuan cenderung teliti dan sistematis dibandingkan siswa laki-laki. Kata kunci: Kemampuan berpikir kritis, gender. Abstract This study aimed to analyze critical thinking ability when solved trigonometry identity problem based on gender difference in senior high school. Subject were selected by think a loud. Most of student can do critical thinking criteria and then make a group difference based on gender. Based on saturated data that have obtained for each gender, and then take one of them to analyze critical thinking ability. Based on result shows that male student and female student mostly can complete five indicators of critical thinking such as 1) can formulate the core problem; 2) can express fact that requirement to solve the problem; 3) can choose logically argument, relevant, and accurate; 4) can detect different refraction when get different solution; and 5) can determint cause of the statement that it have took as a decision. When solved the problem based on the its phase, showed that female student are more careful and more sistematic than male student.

Purpose This paper examines the experiences and outcomes of male teacher candidates in the College of Education at a large university in California. Design/methodology/approach This mixed methods study highlights findings from the preliminary analysis of student records as well as qualitative observation notes from their university supervisors and master teachers during their student teaching placements. Comments from student teaching assistance plans and remediation tools from the College of Education, Field Placement Office were also used. It also included the quantitative analysis of enrollment data as well as mid- and final student teaching evaluations for one semester. This multiple data triangulation process was used to illuminate the unique challenges and successes of male teacher candidates and the variables that influence their outcomes. Findings There were significant statistical differences (p < 0.05) between the male and female teacher candidates across each key measure used. Male teacher candidates scored lower in the areas of mathematics, assessment, planning and student engagement during instruction. Practical implications This study offers strategies that teachers’ trainers may use to recruit, retain and more effectively support the needs of their male elementary teacher candidates. Originality/value Few studies have examined both qualitative and quantitative data to determine pedagogical factors that impact male teacher candidates’ challenges and/or successes during their student teaching experiences. Moreover, few studies have explored how teacher training programs can more effectively support the needs of this population. This study is designed to fill that void.

A random sample of 5,182 adults from 6 U.S. metropolitan areas were questioned about incestuous sexual relationships during childhood. Incest was disproportionately reported by both male and female bisexuals and homosexuals. 148 gays (7.7% of the sample) reported 14 (50%) of same-sex, and 7 (22%) of opposite-sex incestuous experiences, and 20 (69%) of same-sex and 2 (3%) of opposite-sex sexual experiences with other relatives. 88 lesbians (3% of the sample) reported 2 (33%) of same-sex incest and 7 (9%) of opposite-sex incest and 1 (17%) of same-sex and 10 (13%) of opposite-sex sexual experiences with other relatives. 12% of 98 male homosexuals vs 0.8% of 1,224 male heterosexuals with a brother reported brother-brother incest. These findings are consonant with those of other studies in which disproportionately more incest by homosexuals was reported. As opposed to an evolutionary genetic hypothesis, these data support the alternative that homosexuality may be learned, since homosexuals do not produce children at sustainable levels and the incidence of homosexuality varies as a function of various social factors. Incest cannot be excluded as a significant basis for homosexuality.

Female teacher tends to recognize irritating behavior of the pupils (Prilaku Siswa yang Menggangu/PSM) in learning process compared with male teacher. However, the difference is less significance. The most dominant form of PSM happening to the pupil is attention seeker in which the pupil talk in classroom during the learning process. Even though PSM is rare, it still requires an appropriate measure conducted by the teacher toward the PSM in order to lessen the frequency. The finding of this research shows that male teacher stricter than female teacher in handling PSM.
