Male teachers vs. female teachers in STEM subjects

STEM subjects are science, technology, engineering, and maths. These subjects can be taught by a male or female teacher. The trend has been to teach STEM subjects by a female teacher because girls are more likely to pursue STEM careers than boys. However, this trend has changed recently, with more males wanting to teach these subjects. Some research has found that there are benefits of either having a male or female teaching STEM subjects. Males may have an edge regarding content knowledge, but females may have an edge when meeting students’ needs.
