Traditionelle Geschlechterrollen und der geringere Schulerfolg der Jungen. Quantitative und qualitative Befunde aus einer Schulstudie im Kanton Bern (Schweiz)

Abstract

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.
