Current political discussions concentrate on the lower educational success of boys. A school survey on the gender-specific educational success was carried out in the canton Berne; its results are triangulated in this article. Findings are derived From a standardised questionnaire survey of 872 school students (grade 8) around the age of 15, video observations of maths and German lessons as well as group discussions of gender-homogeneous half-classes ves of the total sample of school students. The analysis focuses on gender role patterns. It seems that non-egalitarian traditional gender role conceptions are linked to a lower educational success.
