Gender Imbalances in the Primary Classroom: An Interactional Account.
French, Jane
Educational Research, v26 n2 p127-36 Jun 1984
A verbatim transcription of a lesson in a class of 10- to 11-year-olds is analyzed to support the observation that, in mixed-sex classrooms, male pupils receive more teacher attention than females. Among the reasons found for this imbalance is the tendency of boys to engage in strategies to secure attention. (SK)
