  • Questions about the video 'The Gender Dimension within Research'

    1) Why should we consider the gender dimension in research that has an impact on people? (choose multiple correct answers)
    A) Because science has run out of topics to research.
    B) Because it helps the digitisation of science.
    C) Because it considers the experiences and needs of both women and men.
    D) Because it reflects the physical differences between men and women.
    E) Because it enhances the quality of the research and the validity of the results.
    F) Because it gives work to unqualified women.

    2) Pavel, a research assistant, decided to focus his research on the impact of climate
    change on agricultural production. He wanted to find out how different factors such as
    temperature, rainfall and extreme weather events can affect crops and how this situation
    can be addressed in the future. While writing the project proposal, he also started
    thinking about the gender dimension within research. How can gender be integrated
    into Pavel's research? (choose multiple correct answers)
    A) Agricultural research has nothing to do with gender differences.
    B) Pavel can focus on how climate change affects men and women working in agricultural production.
    C) Pavel can invite his female colleagues Zuzana and Andrea to join his team.
    D) Pavel can extend the research sample to include female respondents and investigate the specific impact on this group.
    E) In no way, because if the research is done by a man, the gender dimension cannot be included in the research.


    3) We can distinguish between sex and gender dimensions in research. The sex dimension refers to anatomical or physiological differences between men and women, whereas the gender dimension in research reflects the different needs, expectations or experiences of men and women. (choose one correct answer)
