Gender Differences on Assessments.
Latham, Andrew S.
Educational Leadership, v55 n4 p88-89 Dec-Jan 1997-1998
Educational Testing Service completed a four-year study that analyzed results from over 400 different assessments and 1,500 data sets involving millions of students. By comparing statistic Ds (standard mean difference) across assessments, researchers found that gender differences among subject areas are smaller than one might expect but grow by the time students reach 12th grade. Individual uniqueness overshadows gender difference. (MLH)
