Discussion
Several research studies show that teachers have more overall interaction with boys than girls. What is the correct explanation for this ?
Answer: C
It is an example of gender bias in teaching.
Classroom research has found that teachers, often without realising it, call on boys more, give them more feedback and praise, and tolerate more interruptions from them. This unequal interaction reflects assumptions about gender rather than any real difference in what boys and girls need or can do, and it can lower girls' participation and confidence.
The other options try to justify the imbalance with stereotypes: that boys are more capable academically, need more attention, or are easier to manage. None is supported by evidence, and believing them is itself a form of gender bias.
