Creativity and occupations

Students draw what it is said in the task and talk about why they take this decision about the worker: Is it a man or a woman? Why?

Using this activity, we can see if our students have some preconceptions about genre and proffessions.

The results are very interesting. As far our students are older, they have more difficulties to break their preconceptions. On the other hand,  younger students draw workers as their own genre image. (if they are girls, they draw girls, but if they are boys they usually draw boys) Nevertheless, there are some proffessions which are very linked to the genre as: politician, nurse, teacher or soldier.
