Talbot, Amelia; O'Reilly, Michelle; Dogra, Nisha – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2023
Purpose: The paper aims to explore the anxiety of university students.

Stocks, Clair A. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Women make up most higher education administration and faculty positions, but they are concentrated at the lowest echelon of the academy.

A review of the…

Josiane Mukagiahana; Aimable Sibomana; Joseph Ndiritu – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
Gender disparity in education begins in the early years of education with the ignorance of genderresponsive instructions.

Tatjana Taraszow; Sarah Gentrup; Birgit Heppt – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
Gender differences in reading and math have been reported for many years. Girls outperform boys in reading (representing a school domain stereotyped as female); boys often perform slightly better in math (a stereotypical male domain). Research has so far investigated the contribution of domain-specific academic self-concepts and interests as well…

Alyssa J. Alexander; Mikaela J. Dufur; Michael R. Cope; Jonathan A. Jarvis; Amy R. Read – SAGE Open, 2024
Although gender ideologies influence many outcomes, research shows they often fluctuate across the life course. Family structure transitions are one mechanism through which gender ideologies change. Divorced and single adults report more egalitarian ideologies than stably married adults. Little research has examined whether children in these…

Tazuko Hiroi; Nadezhda Murray, Translator – Educational Studies in Japan: International Yearbook, 2024
In the history of Japanese education, the "gender characteristics theory" that men and women naturally have different characteristics rejected not only the "gender equality theory" which came from Western Europe in the early Meiji era, but also the traditional "male chauvinism" of East Asia. According to the theory of…

Janine Coleman; Yvonne Melia – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2024
Women with Tourette's syndrome (TS) continue to be under-researched, despite female sex being associated with increased tic-related impairment in adulthood.

Sexuality education is important for children's well-being, peer relationships and safety, yet pre-teenagers and their diverse experiences have remained largely overlooked within the field. In Finland, the national curriculum obliges schools to prevent sexual harassment and homo- and transphobic violence, to provide knowledge on gender diversity,…
