Abstract
The present study was conducted to engage undergraduate students training to be Primary School Teachers in the personal study of gender differences. More precisely the project aims, on the one hand, at getting undergraduates to openly explore the understanding of gender in the practice of teaching Primary school students and, on the other, at raising awareness of gender biased attitudes both in society and the classroom. My concern is that these future practitioners will be well positioned as teachers to reinscribe inequitable and discriminatory practices with their future students.
