What kind of strategies will you use in order to help girls feel confident in your science classes? (A) Using gender sensitive language (B) Invite women scientists to visit your classroom (C) Help girls to always dominate discussion in the science classroom (D) Help students in examining myths and sterotypes about science.
(A), (B) and (D)
Statement (A) is correct: using gender-sensitive language avoids reinforcing stereotypes and makes both boys and girls feel equally addressed and valued in the science classroom.
Statement (B) is correct: inviting women scientists as visible role models helps girls see that they too can succeed in science, building their confidence and sense of belonging.
Statement (C) is incorrect: helping girls to always dominate discussion simply replaces one form of inequity with another; the goal of gender-sensitive teaching is equal and confident participation for all students, not dominance by one group.
Statement (D) is correct: helping students critically examine myths and stereotypes about science, such as the idea that science is a subject suited only to boys, directly builds girls' confidence by dismantling the beliefs that discourage them.
Hence, the strategies (A), (B) and (D) together are the appropriate ones.
