Abstract | The attitude of women trainees towards fashion and glamour seldom receives any attention in academic forums. Though the topic may appear trivial, the fact remains that the environment in which trainees attend colleges of Education, particularly in metropolitan cities in India is one in which many uphold high ideals of attractiveness. The growth and popularity of Fashion and Women’s magazine and the image of the woman with the perfect body which the Television channels telecast everyday have added fuel to a raging passion among teacher trainees. How pervasive is this trend? Does it affect the attitude of women trainees? The investigator, a teacher educator by profession attempted a study of demeanor and attire of women trainees in teacher training colleges in select colleges. These were then corroborated with findings of studies of perceptions of youth in college campuses and comes up with a few interesting findings. The paper goes on to affirm that the perceived urge in women teacher trainees for perfection of the body instead of perfection of the mind can soon become a matter of concern. This is especially so because in ancient India, simple living and high thinking was the life style prescribed, particularly for teachers. But what we now perceive is something in sharp contrast. The investigator affirms that this is a matter of concern because the male sex is fast becoming a rare species taking up the teaching profession in colleges in general and Teacher Training colleges in particular. |
