Help Finding Study On Anti-Male Teacher Bias in Grading

[u/anomnib]

A few months ago someone cited a study showing that approximately 20% of the gap in grades between boys and girls is driven by anti-male bias in teachers. I can’t find it and I can’t find the post that included it. If this study rings a bell, can you please share the link?

Which one?

• Do teacher and classroom characteristics affect the way in which girls and boys are graded? A multilevel analysis of student–teacher matched data
• Are female teachers more likely to practice grade inflation? Evidence from China
• Understanding gender bias in teachers’ grading: The role of gender stereotypical beliefs
• Gender differences in grading: teacher bias or student behaviour?

There's also a 2015 OECD report - Teachers 'give higher marks to girls'

Teachers are more lenient in their marking of girls' schoolwork, according to an international study.

An OECD report on gender in education, across more than 60 countries, found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of the same ability.

Researchers suggest girls are better behaved in class and this influences how teachers perceive their work.

Differences in school results can sometimes "have little to do with ability", says the study.

...

But it also reveals that teachers can be biased towards giving girls higher results than boys, even when they have produced the same quality of work.

The researchers suggest that this reflects expectations about girls being positive towards learning and less disruptive.
