Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, Aurora. – 1994
Generally, the levels of participation and achievement of females in science do not match those of male learners. This report describes the formation and study of an all-female section of calculus-based physics for the purpose of providing an environment that might enhance the participation and achievement of females in the physical sciences so…

Wollam, Jean – Gifted Child Today (GCT), 1990
Considered are advantages of summer science programs limited to young high school women. Same sex courses are seen to eliminate unconscious gender bias in instruction and counter tendencies for female students to be less involved in science, mathematics, and computer activities. Four specific programs are briefly described. (DB)

Craig, Dorothy Valcarcel – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2000
Describes a study that examined gender differences and the process of Internet-assisted inquiry in a single-sex, technology-enhanced environment. Results indicate that female students in a single-sex environment display similar behaviors as male students do when engaging in technology-enhanced activities. Discusses student attitudes and…

Subotnik, Rena F.; Strauss, Shiela M. – Journal of Secondary Gifted Education, 1995
Despite scoring lower on the mathematics Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT-M) prior to taking an advanced placement calculus course, female students (n=85) scored as well as males (n=51) on the Advanced Placement BC level calculus test. Predictors of AP scores were: first, scores on the Calculus Readiness Test; second, scores on the SAT-M; and…

Rowe, Kenneth J. – Australian Journal of Education, 1988
Among the intervention strategies designed to increase the participation and achievement of girls in mathematics and science education, the establishment of single-sex classes in Australian coeducational postprimary schools seems to be growing faster than the substantive evidence to justify it. The findings from a longitudinal case study are…

Marsh, Herbert W.; Rowe, Kenneth J. – Australian Journal of Education, 1996
Critical reanalysis of a previous Australian study comparing the effects of single-sex mathematics and mixed-sex mathematics instruction on students in grades seven and eight suggests that the randomly assigned class-type intervention had relatively little effect on mathematics achievement or attitudes, and that at least some effects favored…

Macfarlane, Jim; Crawford, Pat – 1985
A great number of students, and a particularly high proportion of females, do not study mathematics beyond minimum high school requirements. Research indicates that segregation of mathematics classes may help reduce the incidence of female students dropping out of that subject. In an attempt to redress this situation, A. Y. Jackson Secondary…

Craig, Dorothy Valcarcel – 1999
This study examined gender differences and the process of Internet-assisted inquiry in a single-sex, technology-enhanced environment as female students pursued research topics within a math and science framework. Five group case studies consisted of various configurations selected from a cohort group of students and teachers representing two city…
