From: A scalable goal-setting intervention closes both the gender and ethnic minority achievement gap

Figure 1

Number of credits (ECTS) earned after the first academic year by gender, ethnicity and cohort.

(a) While the three pre-intervention control cohorts show a consistent gender gap, this gap closes almost completely in the intervention cohort, even though all students in the intervention cohort participated. (b) While the ethnicity gap seems to widen rather than close in the pre-intervention control cohorts, in the intervention cohort the gap closes significantly. (c) The interaction between gender and ethnicity shows that while both gaps diminish in the intervention cohort, the largest performance gain is achieved by male minorities.
