Description: "This book investigates gender differences in attitudes and classroom practice between male and female student teachers in the Republic of Ireland. It argues that although gender equality in educational policies, fuelled by an evolving gender-conscious Irish society, has become increasingly important, students may continue to operate within the legacy of a patriarchal society still struggling to shake off the vestiges of polarised conventional expectations."--BOOK JACKET.
