Gender Differences in Attitudes to Science and School for First Year Secondary School Children in a Variety of Teaching Groups
Abstract
The evidence suggests that single‐sex groups for science, whether in mixed schools or in single‐sex schools does not increase girls attitude towards science. Boys are shown to have significantly more positive attitudes towards science and practical science than girls, but girls show a more positive attitude towards school than do boys.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
