The West Virginia Board of Education is committed by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and State Policy 4200, "Provision of Equal Opportunity in West Virginia Public Schools," to provide all students with equal access to courses and equal treatment once they are enrolled in those courses. Mathematics, computer technology and science are integral parts of the state's educational programs. This pamphlet provides reviews of research findings related to these three areas and looks at how the factors of gender, early learning, and achievement make a difference in continuing courses in mathematics, computer technology and science. It also addresses information on myths related to female and male students taking mathematics, computer technology and science courses and provides data on female and male students enrolled in these courses as well as other related information. It includes a quiz to help educators evaluate their programs for gender bias. (CW)
