Gender differences in mathematics achievements and attitudes
Original language description
The mathematics is important area of schooling and it works as a crucial factor for career choice. It was found in previous studies that there exists gender gap in math achievements. In our study, we consider the math achievements in short-term (didactic test) and long-term way (final school grade) and we compare it with the preference of the math and with the feeling of competency in the math. The participants are 1.383 students of grammar schools from 4th to 9th grade. The analyses show that boys and girls significantly differ in the test results, the preference of the math and the feeling of the math competence, in all cases in the behalf of boys. The correlation between test results and school grades is strong, likewise between test results and feeling of competence in the math. Even the gender patterns are similar, the correlations are slightly stronger among boys.
