Gender-Related Differences in Self-Referenced Cognitions in Relation to Mathematics.

Seegers, Gerard; Boekaerts, Monique

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v27 n2 p215-40 Mar 1996

Examination of (n=186) eighth-grade students found marked differences between boys and girls on a mathematics test that were paralleled by differences in both trait-like self-referenced cognitions (academic self-concept of mathematical ability, goal orientation, and attribution) and task-specific appraisals. Contains 77 references. (Author/MKR)
