Challenging Accepted Wisdom: Looking at the Gender and Science Education Question through a Different Lens.
Gilbert, Jane; Calvert, Sarah
International Journal of Science Education, v25 n7 p861-78 Jul 2003
Investigates a group of women scientists' understanding of themselves and science. Uses a mixture of conventional qualitative research methods and techniques developed for use in psychotherapy. Discusses contradictory results to some of the assumptions on which past work on girls and science education is based. Explores implications of these findings for future work on the gender.
