Gender and Practical Skill Performance in Science.

Lock, Roger

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v29 n3 p227-41 Mar 1992

Utilized an experimental design structure across 4 scientific contexts which tested 18 boys and 18 girls who were closely matched for ability levels and curriculum background. No gender differences were detected in the scientific contexts of observation, reporting, or planning skills, and there was no differential performance on the use of scientific language.
