Purpose of the Study The purpose of the study was to determine whether there were significant statistical differences in achievement between first-grade students taught mathematics by male teachers as compared to first-grade students taught mathematics by female teachers. A substantive hypothesis was formed, which stated: "This writer hypothesizes that mean-gain scores are independent of teacher gender." Two null hypotheses were formed and tested: (1) Acquisition of mathematics concepts by first-grade students will not be affected significantly by teacher gender as measured by the SRA Assessment Series; and (2) Acquisition of mathematics computation knowledge by first-grade students will not be affected significantly by teacher gender as measured by the SRA Assessment Series. Six subhypotheses were formed for each null hypothesis. The sub-hypotheses dealt with all possible combinations of teacher-student groupings. Procedures A total of 206 first-grade students participated in the study. Four male first-grade teachers were found. Six female first-grade teachers were matched with the male first-grade teachers. A pre-test was administered to the students in October and early November. A posttest was administered to the same students in May. Differences in the results of these two tests were computed as mean-gain scores. The null hypotheses were tested by analysis of covariance. The sub-hypotheses had all possible t-tests applied to them. Findings The findings of this study indicated the need to reject null hypothesis number one and number two. The effect of teacher gender was statistically significant for these null hypotheses. Students taught by male teachers had significantly higher mean-gain scores than students taught by female teachers. The gender of the student was not significant. Five of the twelve sub-hypotheses also had to be rejected due to the effects of teacher gender. Recommendations In view of the findings of this study, the writer offers the follow ing recommendations to schools of teacher education, public schools, and other groups concerned with having a balance of male and female teachers throughout the range of grade levels and subject matter: 1. Dropping the barriers that may prevent either gender from teaching at any grade or subject area. 2. Exercising strict control over such variables as quality of teachers, enthusiasm for teaching, and views on testing needs and procedure, before attempting a study of the influence of teacher gender. 3. Researching further in other areas of the curriculum to see if there are differences due to teacher gender in these other areas. 4. Conducting needed long-range studies of the effect of teacher gender on primary-grade students. 5. Using a large population of subjects to do research in the area of both social and academic influence exerted by teacher gender. 6. Conducting studies of the effects of items on the survey to determine the importance of each as it relates to mathematics achievement.

This paper analyses the impact of teacher gender towards students' test results in a blinded Math test administered to students in Catalonia (Spain). The data for this analysis are drawn from a sample of secondary school students who participated in an international blind-test known as the “Mathematical Kangaroo” in 2008. The estimation considers a two-stage procedure since participation on the test leads to the presence of sample selection. Results show a correlation between female teacher gender and student results. Moreover, students with female teachers have a higher probability of participating in the “Kangaroo” test (in this case, the effect being more marked among male students).

"In the United States, girls outperform boys in measures of reading achievement while generally underperforming in science and mathematics. One major class of explanations for these gaps involves the gender-based interactions between students and teachers (e.g., role-model and Pygmalion effects). However, the evidence on whether these interactions actually matter is limited and contradictory. In this study, I present new empirical evidence on whether assignment to a same-gender teacher influences student achievement, teacher perceptions of student performance, and student engagement. This study's identification strategy exploits a unique "matched pairs" feature of a major longitudinal survey. Within-student comparisons based on these data indicate that assignment to a same-gender teacher significantly improves the achievement of both girls and boys as well as teacher perceptions of student performance and student engagement with the teacher's subject. For example, assignment to a female science teacher increases the likelihood that a girl views science as useful for her future. However, because the middle-school teachers in most academic subjects are female, these results also suggest that the gender dynamics between teachers and students at this level amplify boys' large underperformance in reading while attenuating the more modest underperformance of girls in math and science"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.

This text provides a critical overview of current thinking about equity issues in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Grounded in feminist theories of curriculum change and a broad range of cultural perspectives, the new approaches described here go beyond "special programmes" and "experimental treatments" designed to correct perceived problems and deficits. Instead they establish how improved instructional practices and a fuller understanding of the nature of the mathematical enterprise can overcome the systemic obstacles that have thwarted women's participation in this important field.; This book will appeal to all those who are interested in the mathematical education of women, including teachers, parents, administrators and researchers.

Gender inequalities in education – in terms of systematic variations in access to educational institutions, in competencies, school marks, and educational certificates along the axis of gender – have tremendously changed over the course of the 20th century. Although this does not apply to all stages and areas of the educational career, it is particularly obvious looking at upper secondary education. Before the major boost of educational expansion in the 1960s, women’s participation in upper secondary general education, and their chances to successfully finish this educational pathway, have been lower than men’s. However, towards the end of the 20th century, women were outperforming men in many European countries and beyond. The international contributions to this book attempt to shed light on the mechanisms behind gender inequalities and the changes made to reduce this inequality. Topics explored by the contributors include gender in science education in the UK; women’s education in Luxembourg in the 19th and 20th century; the ‘gender gap’ debates and their rhetoric in the UK and Finland; sociological perspectives on the gender-equality discourse in Finland; changing gender differences in West Germany in the 20th century; the interplay of subjective well-being and educational attainment in Switzerland; and a psychological perspective on gender identities, gender-related perceptions, students’ motivation, intelligence, personality, and the interaction between student and teacher gender. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Research.
