Abstract

The #Me Too movement has called attention to the importance of sexism in experiencing mistreatment in a number of professions. In this paper, we explore the experiences of female college instructors navigating problematic student behaviors, such as interruptions and challenges to classroom management. Drawing on a survey of instructors at U.S. colleges and universities, we outline patterns in problematic student behaviors reported by instructors. Specifically, we demonstrate that instructors who self-identify as female experience a variety of behaviors that are hostile and problematic from students in their delivery of course content. Further, we suggest some strategies for mitigating these issues based on the female faculty surveyed, and areas for further research concerning college instructors’ experiences. In so doing, our work draws attention to the importance of examining and comparing how gender and influences instructors’ classroom experience.

摘要

#Me Too 运动呼吁人们关注性别歧视在许多职业中遭受虐待的重要性。在本文中，我们探讨了女大学教师在处理有问题的学生行为（例如课堂管理的干扰和挑战）方面的经验。根据对美国高校教师的调查，我们概述了教师报告的有问题的学生行为模式。具体来说，我们证明了自我认同为女性的教师在课程内容的交付中会经历学生的各种敌对和有问题的行为。此外，我们根据接受调查的女教师提出了一些缓解这些问题的策略，以及关于大学教师经历的进一步研究领域。这样做时，
