The Changing Roles of Males and Females. Curriculum Guide.

This curriculum guide is designed to develop an increased awareness of the changing roles of males and females and to provide current relevant information regarding the changing roles of males and females. The guide is divided into five major concepts: (1) perception of masculinity and femininity, (2) physical/biological determinants of male and female characteristics, (3) social/psychological factors influencing roles of males and females, (4) legal discrepancies affecting male and female roles, and (5) males and females in the world of work. Each section (concept) follows a typical format that includes the following parts: supporting concepts, behavioral objectives, specific performance outcomes, and generalization. The remainder of each section is comprised of a table that presents supporting content and generalizations, teaching strategies and learning/evaluating experiences, and resources. Appended to each section are student exercises and assignments, student evaluations, and a list of resources. (LRA)
