The Learning Style of Males and How to Involve College Men in the Curriculum

Abstract

Now the minority (35%) of those attending college and university, young often arrive on campuses that are unwelcoming. Until fairly recently an atmosphere unlike that at the elementary level, where for many decades boys have been treated as defective girls, the undergraduate classroom today is typically a place where young men sit quietly. Male-positive pedagogic approaches to engaging college-age men are identified that depend not on the sex of the instructors but on their attitudes toward males. The undercurrent of misandry in academe is addressed.
