The Gender Gap in Math: Its Possible Origins in Neighborhood Effects

Entwisle, Doris R., Alexander, Karl L., Olson, Linda Steffel·1994·American Sociological Review

Abstract

Les AA. montrent que les differences entre les deux sexes dans la plupart des disciplines scolaires tend a diminuer mais ils constatent, au niveau de l'enseignement primaire, une difference entre garcons et filles en faveur de ces derniers en ce qui concerne le niveau de connaissance en mathematiques. Ils s'efforcent de comprendre le phenomene et cela a partir d'une enquete menee aupres d'enfants du primaire a Baltimore. Ils montrent que les garcons sont plus impliques dans des activites extra-scolaires mobilisant leurs connaissances en mathematiques que les filles. Ceci explique que la difference de niveau dans ce domaine tend sans cesse a croitre entre les deux sexes

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.
