There is a mother who is a teacher on the Internet who said this thing on her blog:
She is a teacher at Normal No. 2 Primary School, and her son is 8 years old this year, and he happens to be in the class she teaches. There are 45 students in this class, of whom 21 are girls and 24 are boys. But you know what? In the top 10 of each test, there are usually only 1 or 2 boys, and the rest are girls. Although she has always paid close attention to her son's studies and his son is also working hard, his grades are always ranked around 20th in his class. At first, she thought that the class she was leading was special, but when she asked other colleagues, she found that many classes were like this. Everyone says that the future world is for men, but these boys can't even keep up with their studies, so how can they master the future?
In fact, this mother's concern is very reasonable. Both educationalists and experts on children have studied that boys and girls are really different in their learning and thinking. For example, in a kindergarten math class, the teacher asks, "I have three red five-pointed stars here, think about it, how many blue five-pointed stars are five?"
From this incident, we can see the difference in learning between boys and girls. Girls like to think carefully, while boys prefer to guess. This is also evidenced by studies by educationalists and experts on children: boys and girls really have different ways of learning and thinking.
Girls usually develop about a year earlier than boys, so girls of the same age tend to be more mature and perform better academically than boys. This is because boys develop slightly slower, and they usually need more time to learn to walk, talk, etc. So before junior high school, girls may do better than boys. But by high school, boys begin to learn better.
Boys also have their strengths, though. Around the age of 4, they begin to excel at their three-dimensional imagination. Boys are generally more hands-on and are also more confident and independent. They like to think for themselves and don't care even if they're wrong. They have a clear goal and value the outcome more than the process. Moreover, boys are generally strong in math and they are good at thinking about problems with mathematical logic, so men tend to excel in advanced math and science.
That's why in class, boys prefer to guess the answer rather than do what the teacher asks them to do, as girls do. Even if they guess wrong, they won't lose confidence easily.
So, how do boys learn better? In fact, boys are never just spectators in learning. They like to ask questions, interrupt teachers, have hands-on skills, and enjoy toys such as trucks, cars, and building blocks, all of which give them a keen interest in geometry. They like to find answers on their own, and they don't give up easily even if they say something wrong.
Boys are energetic, active, and have difficulty concentrating, but they tend to do well if they are allowed to do their own experiments.
