I as a girl, I also cannot deny the truth that men can learn faster than women. I don't know why,but all guys at my surroundings can learn faster compared to girls. Last time when I was studied at university,the same thing happened. Guys had been scoring high marks in exams. Now I am working, I also find out my male colleagues are learning faster than females. What do you think? Do you have same opinion as me? Please share,thanks

Learning curves can vary and has a lot of factors. It is true that other instructional methodologies are more effective than the others, but we just cant tag that to gender.

hi dear friend till the age of 11 the girls learn faster than boys . the group as a whole will reflect this trend . after this the boys take over. their learning , retention , application all are far better than girls. and this trend is retained till end. this is proven fact. all students of psychology will agree with me. scoring marks is a different theory . though. girls are good at mugging up while boys will apply the concepts better.

It depends on the person. Some people learn faster than other. There are a lot of women out there that are smarter than men.

I don't agree. When I was taking programming classes in college I did much better than the males in my classes...mostly because I was so good at understanding the code...and many of them turned to me for help. When we were studying computer hardware some of the guys did better than I did but I felt intimidated by hardware and I believe that that's why I didn't do so well. I really believe that confidence plays a big part in learning so, if you expect to do well, you will and if you expect to lag behind the males...you will.

I think its just your impression.. ANyway, I think it has to do with men being able concentrate more than women.. But if you think about it, studies say that women are able to do more things than men at the same time o.o
