The study: Teachers keep girls 'in awe'

Teachers give girls higher grades than boys, according to a new study published in the British Journal of Sociology and Education.

The researchers analyzed exam results for 10th graders that included not less than 40,000 samples.

They found that when scores were assessed anonymously, girls scored higher in languages ​​and boys scored higher in maths. Meanwhile, when teachers graded the test non-anonymously, they graded girls higher in both subjects.

Why does this happen? Researchers say there may be a bias against boys because they are less likely to be polite or organized in the classroom.

Such discouragement in boys can have a negative effect on their psycho-emotional development. That's why an excellent book on this topic is the one from 2000 entitled 'Raising Cain' by Dan Kindlon, Ph.D., and Michael Thompson Ph.D both professors at Harvard University and renowned child psychologists in the USA , which many publishers have deemed essential reading for parents of boys.

Meanwhile, back to studying.

Some of his findings, in fact, suggested that male teachers were less likely to overrate girls and that it was female teachers who rated female students more than male students.

This is not the first time that this problem has been identified in school circles, which has prompted various campaigns that invite more boys to choose the teaching career, which is currently dominated by the opposite sex.

Another important factor that has inspired such campaigns has been the decrease in the overall results of boys in the school system, both in the lower cycle and in the university.

According to the findings of the study, "teachers' evaluations of students do not only take into account their academic competence, but they are also filled with social considerations related to the individual characteristics of the teacher and the student, their interactions and the surrounding context.

The purpose of this paper is to understand the extent to which teachers rate girls more generously than boys, and what characteristics of teachers and classrooms are likely to reduce this gender rating gap. The results show that, when comparing students who have identical subject competencies, teachers are more likely to give higher grades to girls. Moreover, they demonstrate for the first time that this grading standard favoring girls is systematic, as teacher and classroom characteristics play a negligible role in lowering it.”

Over the past century, the existence of gender-related gaps in educational outcomes has been widely demonstrated almost worldwide (Goldin, Katz, and Kuziemko 2006), and gender gaps in educational achievement are among the most discussed topics in the field of educational studies. Typically, when comparing standardized test scores across most OECD countries, girls outperform boys in the humanities, languages ​​and reading skills, while boys perform better in math and science, the report said. study.
