Cristina-Ioana Galusca; Anna Eve Helmlinger; Elodie Barat; Olivier Pascalis; Jean-Baptiste Van der Henst – Developmental Science, 2025
Children's social preferences are influenced by the relative status of other individuals, but also by their social identity and the degree to which those individuals are like them. Previous studies have investigated these aspects separately and showed that in some circumstances children prefer high-status individuals and own-gender individuals.…

Jennifer M. Blaney; Theresa E. Hernandez; David F. Feldon; Annie M. Wofford – Community College Review, 2025
Research Questions: While community college transfer (i.e., upward transfer) represents an important mechanism for advancing equity across STEM fields, existing studies of gender and women's participation within computer science have largely excluded the perspectives of upward transfer students. We address this gap in the literature by exploring…

Ai Miyamoto; Britta Gauly; Anouk Zabal – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2024
Previous research based on large-scale studies consistently suggests that on average, male students tend to have lower literacy compared to their female students during secondary schooling. However, this gender gap in literacy seems to "disappear" during adulthood. Up until today, only a few studies investigated the role of assessment…

Jessica Prioletta – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2024
Play is a highly valued pedagogy in early learning settings around the world. Supporters of play have emphasised the benefits of this approach in promoting children's development and learning and their alleged freedom to choose, explore, and follow their interests. Feminist research, however, has shown that play contexts can be key sites that…

The impact of the feminist movement has resonated in the field of Higher Education, giving rise to an increasingly large body of research that is sensitive to the gender perspective. Since Political Science educates future professionals, it is desirable to carry out research into the effect of gender biases on the learning process of Political…

Aaron Leonard; Joanna Ellen Bettmann; Ellison Blumenthal – Journal of Experiential Education, 2024
Background: Existing outdoor programs which market to veterans are likely to help veterans to get outdoors and to connect with one another. However, these programs appear to market to mostly White, male populations even though many veterans are female and racially diverse. Purpose: In order to consider barriers to outdoor program engagement for…

Madison, Guy; Sundell, Knut – Studies in Higher Education, 2024
Sex differences in human performance have been documented across a wide array of human endeavours. Males tend to exhibit higher performance in intellectually demanding and competitive domains, and this difference tends to be more pronounced the higher the level of performance. Here, we analyse publishing performance for the whole population of…

Anne E. Riggs; Antonya Marie Gonzalez – Developmental Science, 2024
How does the representation of boy and girl exemplars in curricular materials affect students' learning? We tested two competing hypotheses about the impact of gender exemplar on learning: First, in line with Social Learning Theory, children might exhibit a same-gender bias such that they prefer to learn from exemplars that match their gender…

Christine R. Starr; Campbell Leaper – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
Nerd-genius stereotypes about people in the physical sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (pSTEM) are barriers to getting many adolescent girls interested in pSTEM. Endorsing these stereotypes may undermine youths' pSTEM identity especially when they are incongruent with their self-concepts--possibly more likely for girls than boys.…

Using baseline data…

Alexander C. Moss; Ang Chen – Quest, 2024
The line between gender and sex has become increasingly muddled in literature. Tensions surrounding this topic are ever-increasing and definitions of the two are rarely consistent.

Mike Karlin; Anne Ottenbreit-Leftwich; Yin-Chan Janet Liao – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
While a growing emphasis has been placed on broadening participation in computer science (CS) education, an enduring gender gap exists. One reason for this is gender-based CS stereotypes, which serve as gatekeepers and act in exclusionary ways. However, some high schools in the U.S. have still built gender-inclusive CS programs. We conducted a…
