Boys and Girls in the Performance-Based Science Classroom: Who's Doing the Performing?
Jovanovic, Jasna; King, Sally Steinbach
American Educational Research Journal, v35 n3 p477-96 Fall 1998
Whether boys and girls shared equally in performing behaviors required in hands-on activities in the performance-based science classroom was studied over the school year with 165 students in grades five through eight. Being actively involved predicted students' year-end science attitudes, and boys tended to handle the resources more often. (SLD)
