Gender Differences in Achievement

Résumé du livre

'The purpose of this report is to provide an in depth look at the TIMSS achievement results by gender. Results previously reported from TIMSS show that much effort still is needed to achieve gender equity in mathematics and science achievement around the world. While the TIMSS results show few differences inaverage mathematics achievement by gender at the fourth and eighth grades, there were substantial gender differences in mathematics achievement for students in the final year of secondary school (Grade 12 in many countries). In science, gender differences were present in many countries even at grade four and were overwhelming for students in the final year of secondary school' -- intro.
