The document summarizes research on gender differences in academic performance. Gustavsen (2019) found that gender is not a significant factor in academic maturity and classroom context influences achievement more. Robinson and Lubienski (2011) found that boys tend to outperform girls in math and girls outperform boys in reading. Ghazvini and Khajehpour (2011) found no difference in academic self-concept between male and female students. Overall, the studies discussed found that while gender differences in achievement exist, classroom context and individual factors are more influential than gender alone.

As shown in the data above, gender is not significant to academic maturity ,
saying that neither of the two are more mature in terms of academic. As mention by Gustavsen (2019) from his present study, academic achievement of any subject does not affect regarding to the proportion boys and girls in a classroom. Male continue to outperform female on other assessment that there are good (e.g. Mathematics) even though there are risk for poorer general achievement. Opposite to the male, female are somehow at higher risk for poor mathematic skills but are good in reading achievement whereas boy are higher risk of poor reading achievement and that is according to Robinson and Lubienski (2011) in their study about gender achievement gaps. Ghzahini and Khajehpour in 2011 stated in their study that among students, they found out that there is no difference between male and female students as a function of gender in their academic in terms of self-concept. All in all the function of male and female in academic environment have a different cognitive-motivation existed (Ghazvini & Khajehpour, 2011).
