摘要
Background
Responding to the broader call for transparency and accessibility in educational data analysis, this research note presents a concise descriptive analysis of cumulative grade distributions for male and female students across a decade.
ObjectiveThe objective of the research presented is to document persistence in gender difference in student performance at a bachelor’s program in pedagogy over time.

Across the entire grade scale, the cumulative grade distribution for students indicates systematically higher grades among females and reflects a higher concentration of top grades among female candidates.
