It can be seen from Table 1, males received more praise, criticism and remediation
than girls from both female and male physical education teachers. Similarly, in the junior high
school settings, results with the observational instrument (INTERSECT) revealed that boys
received more praise, remedial, acceptance and criticism interactions (20). Previous studies
(8, 20) have suggested that the greater number of teacher interactions directed toward boys
might be due to boys initiating more interactions. In addition, because students who
frequently initiate teacher-student interactions are more likely to receive teacher-initiated
attention (21). Although the finding of this study showed that boys did initiate more
interactions than girls did toward teachers, the findings from group discussions and individual
interviews indicated that gender stereotyped beliefs of teachers and students might have an
influence on this different gender interaction.
