Geschlecht von Lehrern und Lernerfolg von Schülern

Dee zeigt, dass das Geschlecht eines Lehrers signifikanten Einfluss auf den objektiv gemessenen und subjektiv bewerteten Lernerfolg von Schülern hat. Dee analysierte Daten von knapp 25.000 Schülern aus einer national repräsentativen Längsschnittstudie an amerikanischen Schulen. Diese Ergebnisse in Verbindung mit der Tatsache, dass der überwiegende Teil der Lehrkräfte weiblich ist, suggerieren, dass Jungen schulisch benachteiligt sind.^[1]
