Academic Preferences and Achievement: Exploring the Role of Gender Stereotypes and Beliefs

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Academic preferences and ensuing scholastic achievement trace their origins to early childhood, particularly school experiences. Extant gender beliefs and stereotypes can potentially influence children's school experiences and eventual academic preferences and decisions. The current literature review explores student academic perceptions and attitudes, academic performance and preference, and developmental changes over the school years, with a particular emphasis on the role of gender based academic stereotypes and gendered representations in academic domains.
