| Abstract: | Since the 1990s, it has become apparent that girls are
outperforming boys in the 16+ examinations in England
and Wales. This paper focuses on the different levels of
achievement in design and technology. It commences by
considering the dimensions of the gender gap at national
level, before looking at one school in detail. The
methodology of this investigation is described before
analysing the gap. Quantitative and qualitative methods
have been used, including focus group interviews with
students and semi-structured interviews with staff to
identify those factors that contribute to the relative
underachievement of boys. |
