Applying a Sociological Concept about Sex Differences to Science and Mathematics Teaching.
Bright, George W.
School Science and Mathematics, v83 n7 p568-75 Nov 1983
Data from college mathematics students indicate that "focused worlds" seem to be somewhat characteristic of men and "diffuse worlds" of women. This idea is discussed in relation to science and mathematics instruction, as well as the need for clarification and the implications for teaching and research. (MNS)
