Comparative Study On Classroom Teaching Behavior Of Primary School Mathematics Teachers In Different Gender

Differences are a widespread phenomenon in nature and human society. It exists in the natural world and the human world. For humans, gender differences are innate, inevitable. The phenomenon of high femininity ratio and "Man Cession" in elementary school teachers is more and more obvious and it is in the situation that elementary education around the world including China has to face.

This research includes six parts, the first part is the summary which presents the research background, significance, related literature review, the definition and theory basis. The second part is theoretical interpretation.The third part is analysising the gender differences of teaching presentation behavior.The forth part is analysising the gender differences of interactive behavior.The fifth part is analysising the gender differences of classroom management behavior.The sixth part is discussion, which discuss the differences and characteristics between male and female teachers" teaching behaviors.Primary school mathematics teachers in different gender have different teaching behaviors.
