Gender Bias in Performance Evaluations:
This paper provides new evidence on gender bias in performance evaluations of university teachers. We exploit a quasi-experimental dataset on 19,962 teaching evaluations, where students are randomly allocated to female or male teachers. Despite the fact that neither students’ grades nor self-study hours are affected by the teacher’s gender, we find that in particular male students evaluate fema...
متن کاملGender and relationships: beyond the peer group.
Maccoby (April 1990) cogently described important social-interaction effects of gender in childhood, supplanting the traditional approach to gender socialization grounded in the study of individual differences. Arguing that the peer group provides the primary setting for differential socialization of boys and girls, Maccoby cited research that indicates that boys and girls behave differently de...
متن کاملGender, biology, and mathematics performance.
In their analyses of gender and cultural disparity in mathematical performance, Hyde and Mertz (1) focus on tests for differences between females and males, first in overall variance in scores for primary and secondary students, and second in participation and outcome for students with exceptionally high ability. A third crucial line of evidence is sex differences in mathematical disability, de...
متن کاملSmall-Group Learning in an Upper-Level University Biology Class Enhances Academic Performance and Student Attitudes Toward Group Work
To improve science learning, science educators' teaching tools need to address two major criteria: teaching practice should mirror our current understanding of the learning process; and science teaching should reflect scientific practice. We designed a small-group learning (SGL) model for a fourth year university neurobiology course using these criteria and studied student achievement and attit...
متن کاملYoung children's evaluations of exclusion in gender-stereotypic peer contexts.
This study investigated how 50 preschool children (25 girls, 25 boys) evaluated the appropriateness of excluding boys and girls from two types of activities (doll play, truck play) and two types of future roles (playing a teacher, playing a firefighter) across different exclusion contexts. Children judged straight-forward exclusion from activities on the basis of gender as wrong, even if the ch...
