| Abstract: | Using data from over 9,000 faculty members that participated in the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE), this study
examined the moderating role a range of course characteristics played on the effects of gender on the percentage of class
time spent on various activities, a measure of teaching style. Results revealed gender differences, but that the gaps between
men and women in lecturing and active classroom practices varied by disciplinary area, course level, and the number of times
a course had been taught by the same instructor. The results confirm that gender effects depend on context, which implies
that efforts to improve teaching and learning must also adapt to the instructional context. |
