En studie om talutrymme samt bemötande i klassrummet utifrån elevernas kön

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to see if there is any difference in speech space and teachers treatment against pupils with different gender.  I have made this study based on behaviorist and a socio-cultural approach. Children need a positive reinforcement to learn and to co-op with their environment. Together with a more competent student or teacher can a child learn more than on its own. I have observed two operating teachers on two different schools. Every teacher has been observed at four opportunities. I have used both an observation scheme and a sound recording of the classes. After the recording material and the observation scheme has been analyzed. The result has showed that the speech space between boys and girls is comparable with a small advantage of girls, girls more frequent want to speak their mind during class.  On the other hand, boys get more attention via encouragement and injunctions. The result also shows that the teacher foremost is using responsive initiation draws.  It’s the teacher who nominates who get the speak in the classroom and the follow-up to the students is usually short.
