'Boys will be Boys'

Researching further my inquiry questions on motivation, I am trying to get some sort of focus and direction to what I want to achieve and what interests me.

In my blog I wrote about a boys gymnastics class that quadrupled in size just by the teacher changing the name from "gymnastics class" to "free running". I found this fascinating and wondered if this was solely because it was a boys class. This led me to research some activities and learning styles that predominantly motivate boys.

I am considering looking at what motivates boys with a question something along the lines of:

'What learning styles and activities motivate boys to achieve?'

Any thoughts would really be appreciated.
