Abstract

Hidden curriculum refers to the beliefs, attitudes, and conduct of students in the classroom, apart from the explicit subject taught in textbooks. This paper has discussed how student participation at Amin Bazar Ideal School in Amin Bazar, Dhaka, has influenced and changed traditional gender norms and expectations. This was motivated by concerns that any subtle support of societal norms and expectations regarding classroom communications, teacher actions, and institutional policies symbolizes conventional gender roles. A quantitative approach was employed to collect data through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations to examine the influence of gender on student participation in academic and extracurricular activities. The findings indicated that the hidden curriculum significantly supported conventional gender roles, with girls being directed toward submissive roles and boys being encouraged toward assertiveness and leadership. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software. The data present hidden biases that need to be addressed to ensure gender equality and a supportive and inclusive educational environment. The figures on student involvement illustrate that 55% of the respondents favor excellent engagement, 11% strongly agree, 44% agree, 38% are undecided, and 7% disagree. Classroom gender participation has no appreciable correlation with socioeconomic level or gender identity according to the Pearson Correlation Coefficient of 0.120.

Abstract

This study explored the impact of familial and economic factors on juvenile delinquency in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. This study employed a quantitative research design. A survey was executed in designated regions of Dhaka, including Mohammadpur, Mirpur, and Azimpur, including 100 teenagers aged 10 to 18. Data were obtained from this survey. The findings revealed that 80% of teenagers claimed inadequate parental supervision, while 96% had financial difficulties throughout their early childhood. These elements are substantial contributors to criminal activity. Behavior was seen as substantially affected by peer influence (64%) and limited educational access (52%). The results demonstrate that the following types of juvenile delinquency are widespread: Seventy-two (72%) percent of individuals confessed to theft, while fifty-six percent (56%) recognized their participation in vandalism or unlawful alcohol use.  The findings indicated that comprehensive policy interventions and focused community actions mitigate the primary contributing factors to juvenile delinquency in Bangladesh. Improving mental health services, enhancing family support networks, and increasing access to excellent education are essential to alleviate the effects of economic hardship and dysfunctional family dynamics.
