Dimensions of Performance in the Interpretation of Diagrams, Tables, and Maps: Some Gender Differences in the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Aberg-Bengtsson, Lisbeth
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v36 n5 p565-82 May 1999
Investigates the dimensions underlying performance on the diagrams, tables, and maps subset of the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test. Analyzes data from two test versions by using a structural-equation modeling technique on 14,463 and 19,636 examinees respectively. Concludes that gender difference in performance is due, to a great extent, to the quantitative factor influencing test items. Contains 51 references. (Author/WRM)
