The "gender gap" in GCSE results continues to be of prime concern,
and there is now a real need for knowledge about how teachers can
address this gap. In this volume, a team of contributors consider
the gender issues particular to each subject of the secondary
curriculum. They discuss effective strategies supported by their
research and practice, and offer some ways forward for teachers.
The book begins with an overview of contemporary social and
cultural approaches to schooling and gender, focusing particularly
on the contribution of feminist scholars to the debate. It further
examines key aspects of the secondary school curriculum and the
implications for learners of their gendered identity. The final
section moves beyond the classroom to discuss the influence of
current theoretical perspectives on the complex inter-relationship
between the curriculum and young peoples' gendered identities, and
its implications for their future development. In discussing the
character of boys' and girls' achievements in a range of school
subjects, the authors seek to "balance the books" by debating the
different, if sometimes competing needs of both boys and girls.
