Description of Presentation:

This study investigates gender differences regarding perceived self-efficacy and students’ performance on mathematical modeling tasks. Participants included 122 female and 103 male eighth- and ninth-grade students. Although male and female students differ in modeling self-efficacy beliefs, no gender differences were found on the modeling test.
