Title: | Gender, Science and Essentialism: the use of science to support single-sex schooling | Contributor(s): | Smith, Dorothy V (author) | Publication Date: | 2012 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/29571 | Open Access Link: | http://genderandset.open.ac.uk/index.php/genderandset/article/view/208 | Abstract: | In this article I examine the trend that links science to differences between girls and boys as learners. Although the reasoning is flawed and the science has been misrepresented, the reported differences have been taken up by proponents of single-sex education for girls and boys. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Gender, Science and Technology, 4(3), p. 330-340 | Publisher: | Open University | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 2040-0748 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy 169901 Gender Specific Studies |
