Adigwe, J. C.
Research in Science and Technological Education, v10 n2 p187-201 1992
This study investigated sex differences in chemical problem solving among Nigerian secondary school chemistry students (100 males and 100 females). Male students excelled over the female students in the following problem-solving processes: (1) problem understanding; (2) construction and execution of solution plans; (3) exhibition of structural errors; and (4) evaluation of solution processes.
