🏆 Boys report higher academic concept than girls, perceiving themselves to do better & learn more quickly. These differences begin in 2nd class & increase through to 6th class.
However, when asked if their teacher thinks they are smart, there is no gender difference.

🧑🤝🧑 Friendships are central to the experiences of boys & girls in schools. Complex gender dynamics were evident in children’s friendships & these were influenced by gendered norms.

🏐🎭 There is less gender stereotyping evident among younger children & girls across both cohorts.
Girls were more likely to comment on identities that cut across gender boundaries (‘girly girls’ to ‘tomboys’), with more evidence of gender stereotyping among boys.
