Abstract	Is there a gender bias in the transmission of knowledge in coeducational instiutions of learning and, if so, does coeducational schooling itself act to perpetuate unequal educational experiences for girls in relation to boys? Are teachers themselves aware of the role played by gender in their teaching and, if not, what can be done to remedy the situation? This paper addresses itself to such questions. It points out the cost, both in emotional and cognitive terms, that girls pay for having to accommodate to a male-oriented coeducational system; lower self- esteem, a more passive classroom role and discouragement in developing skills needed for employment in the upper echelons of tomorrow's technological work force. In the paper it will be then discussed a Hamburg project designed to sensitize teachers and educational administrators to gender inequities - "Netzwerk LINT". It addresses problems of gender awareness in teacher behavior, classroom dynamics, curricular materials and single-sex vs. coeducational settings. (DIPF/orig.).
