Perceptions of the adult role among adolescent Greek girls in JohannesburgPanaretos, Panagiota 25 August 2009 (has links)
The formulation of the perceptions of the adult role among adolescent Greek girls in Johannesburg, is a complex matter. The girls are influenced by their Greek cultural upbringing, while also experiencing the effects of inherent gender inequalities in the education system. This study investigated the perceptions of the adult role among adolescent Greek schoolgirls in Johannesburg and the implications for educational provision. A literature survey investigated the formation of gender identity among adolescent girls. Existing research on the issues of gender in
education was reviewed. A qualitative study of the life-world of eight adolescent Greek schoolgirls
was conducted. Data elicited from semi-structured interviews were analysed, discussed and
synthesised. The major findings emanated. The girls were influenced in their adult role perceptions
by their cultural backgrounds, but all expressed a desire to strive for new levels of independence.
Guidelines for relevant educational provision were proposed. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)
