Gender Differences among Elementary School-Aged Gifted Students in Achievement, Perceptions of Ability, and Subject Preference.

Olszewski-Kubilius, Paula; Turner, Dana

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v25 n3 p233-68 Spr 2002

A study examined gender differences for 5,544 gifted students (grades 4-5). On an off-level achievement test, males outperformed females in mathematics beginning in grade 3. Both groups had a preference for mathematics over other subjects. Students' perceptions of academic strengths corresponded to their performance on the off-level test. (Contains references.)
