Second Survey Analysis

I have received a few more results from my survey but overall, the pattern of results has not shifted. The results still show that a majority of college-aged students have no gender preference in education. I am still working of getting a wider range of participants, mainly focusing on equal number of male responses and female responses. After reviewing my survey, I decided to add a comment box to the last question, asking the survey takers to list any gender generalizations and stereotypes that they have either heard or agree with. Hopefully I can get enough text responses to use in my paper to defend the Feminist theory of Education.

Essay Four Survey Initial Results

     I have posted my survey on Survey Monkey and I have sent the survey to 15 people so far. The results are still being collected; however, to this point, the results are very surprising. I was expecting to find the results to show that college-aged students consider gender to be a key aspect of the education process. The results are showing that college-aged students do not have gender preferences for their professors. Several participants are aware of the gender differences in the field of education but they are not personally swayed by the generalizations and stereotypes that society has. The results are very initial as I have only a small portion of results and from only one demographic but none the less, the results are very intriguing.
