Reading achievement (Alberta Diagnostic Reading Program) and reader self‐perceptions (Readers’ Self‐Perception Scale) were monitored over a 22‐week reading intervention. Findings indicated that the gender of the reading tutors had no effect on reader self‐perceptions in boys who viewed reading as masculine or gender neutral; boys who viewed reading as feminine responded better to female tutors than to male tutors in developing their self‐perceptions as readers. The gender of the tutor had no significant effect on boys’ reading achievement in either group.  \nKey words: same gender role models, reading attitudes, reading perceptions  \nDans cet article, les auteurs analysent les effets du sexe du tuteur en lecture sur 173 garçons en 3e ou en 4e année, provenant principalement de quartiers défavorisés et identifiés comme ayant des  \ndifficultés en lecture. Le rendement en lecture (Alberta Diagnostic Reading Program) et les autoper‐ ceptions des lecteurs (Readers’ Self‐Perception Scale) ont été observés tout au long des 22 semaines de l’intervention. Les résultats indiquent que le sexe de la personne qui assure le tutorat en lectu‐ re n’avait aucun effet sur les autoperceptions du lecteur chez les garçons qui considèrent la lectu‐ re comme une activité s’adressant tout autant aux garçons qu’aux filles ; par contre, les garçons pour qui la lecture est une activité féminine réussissent mieux à s’identifier comme des lecteurss’ils travaillent avec des tutrices plutôt qu’avec des tuteurs. Le sexe de la personne qui assurait le tutorat n’avait aucun effet significatif sur le rendement en lecture des garçons dans l’un ou l’autre groupe.  \nMots clés : tuteurs de lecture, tutrices de lecture, attitudes envers la lecture, rendement en lecture,élèves en difficulté de lecture, lecteurs de sexe masculin.  \n_____________________________  \nCANADIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION 32, 2 (2009): 245‐270 ©2009 Canadian Society for the Study of Education/  \nSociété canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation  \nSome educators have generated initiatives to address the “boy problem,”using results from Canadian and international reading tests of boys’achievement as compared with that of girls (Council of Ministers of Edu‐ cation, Canada, 2001; Gambell & Hunter, 2000; Mullis, Martin, Gonzalez,& Kennedy, 2003; Mullis, Martin, Kennedy, & Foy, 2007). Many solutions infer that boys’ reading problem is gender‐based. That is, for reasons of nature or nurture, boys simply do not read as well as girls. As such, many interventions focus on gender‐based reforms to ameliorate these trends such as using “boy‐friendly” books, all male classrooms, or male teachers as reading models. Although it is intuitive that gender‐based reforms would address a problem perceived to belong to a gender‐based group, these types of reforms ignore the diversity within the category of boys. Not all boys struggle with reading – in fact, some boys are very skilled readers. Moreover, within the group of boys who do have read‐ ing difficulties, researchers find a multitude of reasons why some boys may not read well: learning disabilities, negative attitudes toward read‐ ing, a view that reading is feminine.  \nWhen researchers conduct studies to create reading interventions – in this case an intervention aimed at boys – they need to specify which target group is being studied. Following this advice, we are particularly interested in potential differential responses to male and female reading tutors demonstrated by struggling male readers who view reading as feminine and those who do not. Furthermore, we are interested in inves‐ tigating this issue with gro","cbCaievdTIbsuDlw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaievdTIbsuDlw","pdf",356123,26,"English","# Conceptual Framework\n## Evidence on boys viewing reading as feminine\n## Gender schema theory and cognitive processing\n## Role models and gender-identity development","[{\"question\":\"How was tutor gender studied in the reading intervention?\",\"answer\":\"The study followed 173 struggling Grade 3–4 boys over a 22-week reading intervention, tracking outcomes while varying the tutor’s gender.\"},{\"question\":\"Did tutor gender affect boys’ reading achievement?\",\"answer\":\"No. Tutor gender had no significant effect on boys’ reading achievement in either group.\"},{\"question\":\"When did tutor gender influence readers’ self-perceptions?\",\"answer\":\"Tutor gender affected self-perceptions only when boys viewed reading as feminine; those students responded better to female tutors than to male tutors.\"}]","Differential Effects of Male and Female Reading Tutors Based on Boys’ Gendered Views of Reading | PDF",1792084918,66]
