Title: | Gender differences in Australian students' relationships with school science | Contributor(s): | Quinn, Frances (author) ; Lyons, Terence (author) | Publication Date: | 2010 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/7904 | Abstract: | This paper explores issues of gender in Year 10 Australian students' experiences of science at school, their self-reported ability in science and their perceptions of science as a subject choice for senior secondary school. A sample of 3759 Year 10 students from across Australia responded to Likert-style questions related to these issues, with findings showing gender differences in perceptions of science, self-rated ability, and reasons for choosing not to study further science. Moreover, interesting contrasts were revealed in patterns of difference of self-rated ability for boys and girls across single-sex and co-educational schools. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | IOSTE 2010: XIV International Organization for Science and Technology Education International Symposium on Socio-Cultural and Human Values in Science and Technology Education, Bled, Slovenia, 13th - 18th June, 2010 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the XIV IOSTE Symposium: Socio-cultural and Human Values in Science and Technology Education, p. 947-956 | Publisher: | Institute for Innovation and Development of University of Ljubljana (IRI UL) | Place of Publication: | Online | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy 130309 Learning Sciences 130308 Gender, Sexuality and Education |
