Abstract

Educational equality is seen as an important force in achieving social equality, but what are the implications if education itself is not equal? The experimental study was designed to reveal the effect of teacher gender bias on student academic achievement by analyzing teacher-student interactions in the classroom with 20 teachers and 400 high school students selected from two different districts in Shanghai, China, and divided into 20 groups. This will help to understand that educational inequalities do not only stem from differences in family background, but also exist in the teaching and learning process.
