Gender differences in classroom climate perception before P4C method implementation

Kaliská, Lada, 1976- Gender differences in classroom climate perception before P4C method implementation / L. Kaliská. -- The Philosophy for Children method (P4C) is a philosophical approach to learning and teaching that enables students to think with others and to think for themselves. It can be explained also as a didactic method invented by Lipman (1970s) based on building the community of inquire via critical, creative and caring thinking development (3-C thinking). The P4C has significant positive impact upon teachers and students´ creativity, builds the confidence of them and encourages and develops their capacity for independent and critical thinking and powers of reasoning. The study analyses the gender differences in classroom climate perception of two Slovak grammar high schools by a self-report measure, Classroom Climate Perception (CCP, Mellibruda adapted to the Slovak conditions by Zelina, 2006). The CCP assesses four factors: sincerity, understanding, value appreciation and acceptance belonging among the most important factors for effective communication and community of inquiry support to open and begin the process of philosophizing with children at schools nowadays. The classroom climate perception was assessed of freshmen students, i.e. 1st year students of two high schools in the Central region of Slovakia (N=181, Mage=15.1, /SD=.5/; 62% of girls) after two months of being a part of a new school community. The only statistically significant difference was estimated in sincerity in favour to boys. The study emphasizes the importance of socio-emotional well-being of the students for the process of critical thinking development via Philosophy for children method implementation. The study is a part of a research project KEGA 028UMB-4/2021.
