Abstract
Students’ lack of participation in the classroom can be associated
with gender disparities, which has remained the focus of researchers’
attention, especially in the field of education for long time. This
research looks into students’ classroom participation in the context
of cultural influences and differential level of participation in the
classrooms. Qualitative data were collected through observation and
semi-structured interviews from nine sample universities. Male and
female students and their teachers from selected departments were
interviewed. Convenience sampling technique was used for
conducting interviews and classrooms observations. Similarly, 02
observations were conducted in the sampled universities, in order to
see the inter relationship of gender and its effects on students’
participation in the classroom. The results illustrated that gender
disparity, cultural constraints and negative attitude towards female’s
education impinge upon female students’ classroom participation.
Female students according to the results are also considered less
intelligent as compared to the male students.
