Gender differences in mathematical sub-skills

From: Research in Education | Date: May 1, 1998| Author: | Copyright information

Research into gender differences in mathematical achievement has focused on differences in general samples (Hyde et al.,1990: Stevenson et al., 1990) and differences in gifted samples (Benbow, 1988; Benbow and Stanley, 1983). It has been argued that in general samples of pupils gender differences favouring boys are not found until early adolescence (Connor and Serbin, 1985; Hyde et al., 1990). On the basis of meta-analysis of general samples (Hyde et al., 1990), Hyde (1993) concludes that there are no gender differences in mathematical performance except in complex problemsolving in high ...
