Question

Guidelines: Write about how you would teach this topic online to a group of college students. Design an online activity on gender segregation in sports that focuses on your chosen topic and would help students learn about the topic. First, state the topic and define it. Next, describe the activity in 2 paragraphs and explain how students would benefit and learn from the activity in the final paragraph. Make specific connections to your chosen topic using key concepts, terms and trends discussed in the course.

Tips: Be creative, but make sure your activity applies well to the topic and you have a rationale for your activity. Be realistic in the activity’s implementation in an online setting. Provide a strong link between your chosen topic and designed activity. Remember, a paragraph consists of 4-6 well-written, thoughtful sentences.

Answer 1

An online game of sorts can be played with participants online so that gender stereotypes can be aimed at. While creating the game, certain stereotypical sports that are related to both the genders can be put in so that any stereotypes that may exist while choosing the gender should be challenged through highlighting. This is a typical sensitization exercise and may play a role in impacting how one adjusts their belief systems in order to fit what os correct or ethical per se. The role of gender can be tested just by naming participants (obvious gender based stereotypes would therefore come through) and then giving choices as to which sports this person should play. The more gender biased the responses, the finaly result would show the percentage and highlight where all the gender segregation in terms of belief systems plays a role in manipulating the participant's cognition.
