Several research studies show that teachers have more overall interaction with boys than girls. What is the correct explanation for this?

Options

A. Boys are easier to manage than girls in the classroom
B. Boys have much more academic capabilities than girls
C. Boys need more attention than girls
D. This is an example of gender bias in teaching

Answer

D

Explanation

If the research says that in the classroom interaction teacher is more interactive towards boy than girl then it shows that it is nothing other than the gender bias where more favour is towards boys than girls. This kind of attitude is not appreciable in the teaching curriculum since both girl and boy are equal for teacher.
