Gendered study choice: a literature review. A review of theory and research into the unequal representation of male and female students in mathematics, science, and technology (2013, background): “Additionally, gender differences in the uptake, interest, and the perceived value of mathematics and mathematics-related subjects become larger as pupils grow older (Archer et al., 2010; Baram-Tsabari & Yarden, 2008, 2011).”
Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, unknown): “First, women’s underrepresentation in computer science, engineering, and physics compared with biology and chemistry appears to be pres-ent across many countries (Baram-Tsabari & Yarden, 2008; Dresselhaus, Franz, & Clark, 1994; Galpin, 2002; Sikora & Pok-ropek, 2012).”
Constructivist-Visual Mind Map Teaching Approach and the Quality of Students’ Cognitive Structures (2011, background): “There is increasing evidence that gender may be an important variable in science learning and can interact with the conditions of the learning experience (e.g., Baram-Tsabari and Yarden 2008; Dhindsa and Chung 2003; Dhindsa and Shahrizal-Emran 2007; McGinnis and Collins 2008; Wiens et al. 2003) in”
