Abstract: The purpose of this technical appendix is to more fully describe the sample, methods, and results of the research brief "Boys Regain the Advantage in Middle School STEM Skills: Post-COVID Trends in Gender Achievement Gaps." The authors investigated three research questions in this brief: (1) How have 8th grade gender gaps in STEM subjects changed from 2019 to 2024 on the NAEP, TIMSS, and MAP Growth assessments?; (2) How have gender gaps on the MAP Growth assessment widened or narrowed among low- and high-performing students?; and (3) How have 8th grade Algebra 1 enrollment trends by gender changed from 2019 to 2024?
