Summary
Raising the achievement level of male pupils, especially disadvantaged males, has been a concern of the UK educational system from several years. Many studies have been conducted using various methods and data sources. The following paper is a critical review of "Challenging Underachievement in Boys" (Lindsay and Muijs, 2006); which was conducted by the authors and the Scrutiny Commission. The researchers use a multilevel model of analysis which has been debated by researchers as to its reliability. In many cases, multilevel models can provide a more realistic approach to problems by analyzing various viewpoints and levels of a given problem which is especially useful when data is missing. Student achievement is a complex issue with many possible influencing factors.
