Crombie, Gail; Abarbanel, Tracy; Trinneer, Anne
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v27 n4 p385-409 2002
In a three-year study, female students from all-female computer science (CS) classes were compared to male and female students from mixed-gender CS classes. Participants were 250 students enrolled in an elective Grade 11 CS course. The study provides some initial empirical evidence supporting the positive effects of all-female classes in CS at the high school level. (AEF)
