Goal-setting intervention results for the gender academic achievement gap: retention rate

There was a marked reduction in the gender gap with respect to retention after 1 year. In the control cohorts, there was a difference of 8.6 percentage points between female students (Retention = 62.8%) and male students (Retention = 54.2%).
The post-intervention retention difference shrank to 0.2 percentage points in the intervention cohort (Retentionfemale students = 72.0%; Retentionmale students = 71.8%), a gender gap reduction of 97.67%. Thus, the goal-setting intervention virtually eliminated the gender gap in retention.
