Equity in the Classroom

Overview

Concerned with pedagogy and the learning achievement of both girls and boys, this book examines international trends in subject performance throughout schooling and looks critically at a range of interventions in different contexts and countries, all aimed at enhancing equity in schools and higher education institutions.

Key Argument

The book argues that pedagogy cannot be isolated from the overarching gender-education system. What can be done, it claims, is that teachers can be provided with a range of pedagogic strategies which can be used to make education, as it is experienced by students and reflected in their achievements, more just.
