许多人想知道教师性别是否通过影响学生的成绩和学科兴趣在高等教育中发挥重要作用。本文使用的数据有助于确定分配给男性或女性教师的男性和女性大学生的平均效果。我们发现教师性别在决定大学生成绩方面只起次要作用。尽管如此，小的影响提供了证据表明，性别角色模型对一些大学生很重要。一个同性教师的平均成绩最多增加5%的标准差，并降低了1.2个百分点的类下降的可能性。
Many wonder whether teacher gender plays an important role in higher education by influencing student achievement and subject interest. The data used in this paper help identify average effects from male and female college students assigned to male or female teachers. We find instructor gender plays only a minor role in determining college student achievement. Nevertheless, the small effects provide evidence that gender role models matter to some college students. A same-sex instructor increases average grade performance by at most 5 percent of its standard deviation and decreases the likelihood of dropping a class by 1.2 percentage points.
