Gender, a Determining Factor for the Development of Intercultural Competences
Sun, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), World Educational Research Association Virtual Meeting Rooms, WERA Virtual Meeting Room 1Abstract
Various studies have confirmed that gender is a significant variable in terms of the degree of development of intercultural competences. Our team has carried out an investigation in Spain that, using quantitative and qualitative techniques, discovered that the intercultural competences of the students of 16 to 18 years of the History subject were higher than those of their male colleagues, this being a more determining variable than other socioeconomic factors. Based on this research, we carried out another, only quantitative, to compare the development of intercultural competences in boys and girls in Spain, Sweden and Denmark. The results show that gender is a very determining variable, which could be explained through feminist theory.
