A study examined whether expected behavior from teachers coincides with how women and men really teach their magazine-writing classes. Subjects, 120 of 198 members of the Magazine Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, responded to a 25-item questionnaire concerning their teaching techniques. Results indicated that (contrary to anecdotes, student expectations, and stereotypes) women and men--with a few notable exceptions--teach in similar manners. Results further indicated that women preferred a participatory classroom style that used the workshop method, involved the instructor in each step of the student's writing process, and urged students to assume the coaching job.
