Gender and Psychology Responsive Pedagogy in Teaching – A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Due to its importance for individual and societal well-being, education can significantly impact a country’s ability to progress. It is a crucial component of social and economic progress and the main way to raise people’s standard of living. The importance of gender in achieving development goals is widely acknowledged, but concerns related to educational equity between male and female groups must be prioritised at all levels in general. This systematic literature review (SLR) extensively examined 13 articles published between 2018 and 2023, encompassing full-text articles from online sources for a more comprehensive analysis. Finding themes within the data required the application of thematic analysis. The results show that the Gender Responsive Pedagogy (GRP)’s efficacy in instruction was evaluated. However, guaranteeing that this GRP may be implemented successfully depends on the key actors’ level of awareness. It was discovered that teachers’ perception towards GRP in the teaching and learning (TnL) process focuses more on the importance of implementing the GRP since teachers could actively engage with their students to improve academics and boost the level of confidence among their students. It was found that the practice of GRP are still low, especially in delivering the required facilities, limited fund and less corporation with school and communities.
