This paper focuses on the learning that happens in everyday life, beyond the formal learning environments of schools, colleges, and universities or even beyond community and adult education. It draws on posthuman concepts of 'learning affect' and 'new worlds' to conceptualise this as 'invisible education', affective and transformative,…

In the European context, there have been discussions for many years about how the number of female and male teachers in primary education should be more balanced. This story is also linked to the deteriorating school performance of boys, who are perceived as lacking male role models in schools. Thus, the feminization of primary education is often…

The persistent gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is often attributed to differences in students' confidence in their own academic abilities (i.e. self-efficacy). Yet, the role of self-efficacy in mediating gender differences in STEM attrition is unclear. To address this issue, we analyse administrative register…

It is widely recognised that education plays a critical role in achieving gender equality, yet refugee girls face significant challenges in accessing education globally. This study, grounded on feminist theory, explores girls' gendered barriers to education in Zimbabwe's Tongogara Refugee Camp. Through focus group discussions and face-to-face…

Various gender biases have been demonstrated in early childhood educators (ECEs) with unintentional preferential treatment provided to boys during STEM-related play activities. These biases could impact young girls' identity formation, resulting in continued underrepresentation of women in STEM domains in future. In China, however, little research…

Children's literature can become one of the means of shaping personal identity, including gender socialization. The main characters portrayed in a book can become a kind of gender role model. The study examines gender themes in Czech books for children of younger school age that have been awarded the Golden Ribbon and Magnesia Litera prizes. The…

This study aimed to determine physical education teachers' views on physical education lessons from a gender perspective. The study also sought to exemplify teachers' attitudes and behaviors towards students in classes, including their view on sports and school athletes, and behaviors within the framework of gender by assessing their metaphorical…

This study explores secondary school teachers' perspectives on gendered differences in student learning within Rwanda, focusing on STEM subjects. Despite the country's strong emphasis on gender equity and equality in education, limited research has been conducted on this issue. The study involved 51 STEM teachers across seven Rwandan districts,…

Contribution: Gender mainstreaming in university teaching should be covered in all the knowledge areas. This work successfully introduces the gender perspective as part of the methodological approach to teaching and learning in Computer Science. Background: This study describes how gender mainstreaming has been introduced and matured during six…

Even as Canadian universities suggest their gender issues have largely been resolved, many women in academia tell a different story. Systemic discrimination, the underrepresentation of women in more senior and lucrative roles, and the belief that gender-related concerns will simply self-correct with greater representation at the lower rungs of the…

Gender stereotypes--and performances of femininity and masculinity--play a key role in how and why an individual engages in STEM education. Students' perceptions of STEM have been carefully and consistently studied in high school and in tertiary education contexts, but to date there has been limited research examining students' gendered…

The Cambodian government has been successful in raising girls' enrolment and academic achievement in recent years, with girls' enrolment reaching 100% in 2021 and girls outperforming boys in reading, writing and mathematics at Grade 5 level. While this is hugely encouraging for girls' education in the country, these statistics alone do not help us…

Research on gender issues and mathematics education is often conducted in classroom settings and/or with teachers, students, and parents. However, perspectives about mathematics from adults beyond teachers and parents can have an impact on students. Thus, we conducted research in Australia and Canada about the general public's views of gender and…

Gender mainstreaming was chosen as a major strategy for the promotion of gender equality in the Beijing Platform for Action in 2002. This approach has been adopted in research policy in many countries, including Norway. We ask: Has the share of published research that includes sex and/or gender perspectives increased during the last decade in…

The paper deals with the work of the Czech children's author Jaroslav Foglar from a gender perspective, reflecting on two themes in particular: the absence of heroines; and his understanding of boys' reciprocity and friendship with the adoration of physicality. The impetus for this analysis was data from a questionnaire survey, the aim of which…
