The perception of culture in the classroom according to the gender variable in students and teachers

Abstract

The objective of this study is to know the perception and desire of entrepreneurial culture in teachers and students according to the gender variable. To do this, we follow the Cultuala analysis model formulated by Martín del Buey of the University of Oviedo and developed by his research team, under the direction of Dr. María Eugenia Martín Palacio of the Complutense University of Madrid. The faculty sample is 176 participants from 16 educational centers. Regarding gender, 66.5% are women and 32.4% men. On the other hand, the sample of students consists of 2308 participants from 18 educational centers: 1101 men (47.7%) and 1203 women (52.1%). The origin of the sample is distributed in 1922 students from Asturias (83.3%), 372 from Castilla y León (16.1%) and 14 from Cantabria (0.6%). The results indicate that have not found statistically significant differences in the perception the teachers have of their academic performance or in the desire to improve them. In the students, differences have been found both in the perception of the teaching performances in the classroom and in the desire to change them. However, regarding the perception that the students have regarding the aspects related to the educational purpose, there are no gender differences and neither do they exist in terms of the desire for an improvement of the educational scenario. In addition, it is evident that the desire to improve the perceived reality is always higher, and that both female teachers and female students averages are always slightly higher than those of men.
