Election of High School Mathematics by Females and Males: Attributions and Attitudes

Pedro, Joan Daniels; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, v18 n2 p207-18 Sum 1981

Attitudinal and attributional variables relating to the election of mathematics courses by females and males are identified. A small set of variables explaining the variance in female and male mathematical plans was found. These results may help in understanding why larger proportions of males than females elect mathematics. (Author/GK)
