Cox, Peter
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v16 n1 p22-29 Spr 2000
A study of 45,206 high school seniors investigated their participation and performance in mathematics subjects taken to complete the secondary education qualification in Victoria, Australia. Gender differences varied with the particular assessment administered. There was a significant regional effect where rural students, particularly males, tended to performed less well than their urban counterparts. (Contains 24 references.) (Author/TD)
