近年来，关于性别和成绩的教育政策集中在男孩的学习成绩不佳上，经常将其与女孩的学业成功进行比较。这鼓励了一种观念，即女孩是教育赌注的“赢家”，并假设她们不再经历早期研究中发现的各种性别不平等。然而，试图平衡学业成绩和被视为“正统女孩”给女孩带来了困难的挑战，特别是在被同学接受和认可以及获得老师的关注方面。本文探讨了一群成绩优异的12 - 13岁女孩的观点，她们表明，在可接受的女性气质框架内，被视为“聪明”的人仍然是可以谈判的。
In recent years educational policy on gender and achievement has concentrated on boys' underachievement, frequently comparing it with the academic success of girls. This has encouraged a perception of girls as the “winners” of the educational stakes and assumes that they no longer experience the kinds of gender inequalities identified in earlier studies. However, trying to balance academic achievement with being seen as a “proper girl” presents girls with difficult challenges, particularly in terms of being accepted and approved of by classmates and securing the attention of teachers. This paper explores the views of a group of high achieving 12‐ to 13‐year‐old girls who indicate that being regarded as “clever” continues to be negotiated within acceptable frameworks of femininity.
