A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
While there is a significant number of scientific papers addressing stereotype threat among various groups and under various circumstances, the focus on reducing stereotype threat has only arisen recently. Most of the strategies introduced ask for a change in the student affected by stereotype threat. Less is known about how teachers in secondary education can help reduce stereotype threat among their students, specifically their female students. The aim of this thesis is to investigate strategies that teachers can adopt to achieve a reduction of stereotype threat for female students in secondary education. I conducted a systematic literature review and deeply analyzed ten papers. The results show that interventions can be classified into those targeted at (1) students, at (2) teachers, and at (3) instruction. Research also indicates that, although the effectiveness of interventions might be varying regarding different categories, interventions lead to long-lasting results.
