“…Some studies have pointed out that this gender effect depends on the environment. Although teachers may have personal preferences for a certain teaching method, when influenced by external stimuli, the teaching style status will adapt to the changes of the outside world (Nelson Laird et al, 2011). Women in high warmth teaching styles increased perceived warmth but also decreased perceived ability (Burnell et al, 2018), and women were more sensitive to behavioral disengagement and social support (Popa-Velea et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is that the teaching style of college physical education (PE) teachers affects the establishment of college students' exercise habits.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the teaching style scale for 32 PE teachers and the autonomic motivation and exercise habits scale for 320 college students in the form of self-report.FindingsChinese college PE teachers mainly use the teacher-centered reproduction style, and the practice style is the most frequently used; The overall teaching style of college PE teachers was significantly negatively correlated with autonomous motivation and exercise habits. PE teachers' teaching style can negatively affect college students' autonomous motivation, and college students' autonomous motivation can positively affect their exercise habits.Originality/valueThere is a significant negative correlation between the teaching style of college PE teachers and the exercise habits of college students. However, it cannot directly affect the establishment of college students' exercise habits, but is achieved through the mediating role of college students' autonomous motivation.

“…In fact, it has been shown that women may be significantly more open to new pedagogical approaches, are more knowledgeable about active learning strategies, and therefore more likely to adopt them than their male counterparts (Henderson et al 2012;Williams 2015). Further research into the reason for the gender gap in atmospheric science is needed, as well as an investigation of any learning differences that arise due to different pedagogies (Nelson Laird et al 2011).…”

Extensive research within STEM fields has demonstrated that active learning leads to greater educational success for students relative to traditional lecture methods. While studies have explored active learning use across various STEM fields, minimal research has focused specifically on the atmospheric sciences. A baseline knowledge of the use of active learning in this field is vital for determining instructional effectiveness and can identify areas for improvement.The goal of this study is to provide a baseline regarding the state of active learning within the atmospheric sciences, including understanding what active learning strategies are most widely used, their frequency of use, and who is using them. Atmospheric science instructors were invited to participate in an online survey to provide information about their active learning use in the classroom and resources used to learn more about active learning strategies. Survey results indicate that case studies are the most popular high-use active learning strategy across all levels of instruction, though how they are implemented within the classroom is not clear. New atmospheric science instructors, instructors beyond the typical 5 year tenure mark, and female instructors exhibit the highest number of unique active learning strategies. Future work stresses the need for a larger sample size and more direct classroom observation of instructors using active learning.

“…In addition, teachers may act as role models for their students (see, among others, Carrington and Skelton, 2003;Gray and Leith, 2004;Holmlund and Sund, 2008). In regards to the second kind of results, students assigned to female teachers perform better since female teachers tend to be more supportive, provide a more positive classroom atmosphere, and tend to use a more student-oriented style of teaching stressing the importance of motivation (see Stake and Katz, 1982;Singer, 1996;Krieg, 2005;Nelson Laird, 2011). Below we summarize some of the existing evidence for primary and secondary education (middle and high school).…”

Teacher Gender and Student Performance in Mathematics. Evidence from Catalonia (Spain)

This paper analyses the impact of teacher gender towards students' test results in a blinded Math test administered to students in Catalonia (Spain). The data for this analysis are drawn from a sample of secondary school students who participated in an international blind-test known as the "Mathematical Kangaroo" in 2008. The estimation considers a two-stage procedure since participation on the test leads to the presence of sample selection. Results show a correlation between female teacher gender and student results. Moreover, students with female teachers have a higher probability of participating in the "Kangaroo" test (in this case, the effect being more marked among male students).
