Gender and Learning: Does Emotion Make a Difference?

Ingleton, Christine

Higher Education, v30 n3 p323-35 Oct 1995

Women students ages 35-55 wrote about their experiences in formal education, focusing on being exposed, being different, mother's expectations, being chosen, being included, and understanding the rules. Analysis indicated the centrality of relationships in construction of self-concept as learners and the persistence of these beliefs into adulthood. Results indicate that emotionally-laden beliefs profoundly influence learning in higher education. (Author/MSE)
