• A Study of Thoughtful Literacy and the Motivation to Read (2010, result): “For example, research has found that the reading motivation levels of females are consistently and significantly higher than those of males (Durik, Vida, & Eccles, 2006; Gambrell & Marinak, 2010; Kush & Watkins, 1996; McKenna, Kear, & Ellsworth, 1995; Merisuo-Storm, 2006).”

• Advancing students' computational thinking skills through educational robotics: A study on age and gender relevant differences (2016, background): “Most students in the H group are boys not so willing to provide answers in written (this is in line with studies suggesting that boys are significantly more reluctant writers than girls, for example [54]).”
