Do teacher and classroom characteristics affect the way in which girls and boys are graded?

Answer: not much.

Results show that, when comparing students who have identical subject-specific competence, teachers are more likely to give higher grades to girls. Furthermore, they demonstrate for the first time that this grading premium favouring girls is systemic, as teacher and classroom characteristics play a negligible role in reducing it.

I'd love to see if these same biases are still in play at university

I posted this on r/ science and got 30k upvotes and 4 million views. I recommened you post these types of things on there to spread awareness.

I also found this part interesting:

In conclusion, the magnitude of the bias against male students in not negligible, and may have negative consequences. This is especially true regarding Mathematics, where a teacher penalty may translate into a failing grade, since the average teacher grade for boys falls right on the passing mark. Indeed, it has been hypothesized that boys’ struggles in the Italian system might be partially driven by grading biases (Di Liberto, Casula and Pau 2021).
