A Survey of Female Students at UAE University

I did a survey that had only one technique. That technique was a questionaire. That questionaire had 20 questions for 25 female students who study in an English as a Second Language classroom. The purpose was to determine their preference concerning a teacher's gender. The survey that I made for UAEU female students shows that female students in UAEU prefer male teacher over female teachers for several reasons. The diagram below shows the percentage of female students that prefer male teachers over female teachers.

There are many reasons that female students at UAE University prefer male teachers. I will divide the reasons into two sections. The first section will consider the psychological reasons, and the second section will consider the social and cultural reasons. Also, there are other reasons that focus on the teacher's styles and ways of teaching.

Some reason that underline the psychological reasons are female students prefer male teachers because they believe that will help them in future, in their work and when they get married to have some insight to knowing how to deal with males. For that reason 64% of female students agree with it, but 36% of female students do not agree with it. Other psychological reason is that female students attracted by the nature to male teachers, for that reason not many students agree with, 36% of female students agree with it, but 64% of female students disagree with. The last reason in area of psychology that some female students agree with that female teachers see themselves as leaders more than male teachers for that they prefer male teacher and they think that will not help them in their learning.

These reasons are male teachers are better in teaching, male teachers use effective materials in teaching, male teachers are less stressed with female students, male teachers give higher grade, male teachers help students more in their projects and homework, male teachers give easy tests and exams, female teachers are more nervous inside classroom, female teachers bore students more than male teachers and female teachers bring their personal problems to the classroom. The table below will show the percentage for those reasons. From that table we can notice that some female students in some reasons they think that the answer will be the both like in using effective material and who make students boring. Also other notice that some students think their answer will depend on the teachers and the course, like in who give higher grade and who give easy tests and exams.

Suggestions:

teacher's styles

teaching methods

Male teachers are calmer?
They give higher grades?

Maybe the teachers are boring, but I don't think they make the students boring.

One thing you need to do is simplify (make things simpler).
