Classroom Processes, Sex of Student, and Confidence in Learning Mathematics.

Hart, Laurie E.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v20 n3 p242-60 May 1989

Classroom interactions of seventh-grade girls and boys who differed in confidence in their ability to learn mathematics were compared. Boys were involved in more public interactions with their teacher than girls. High-and low-confidence students differed very little in their interactions with the teacher. (Author/DC)
