Description of Presentation:

This study examines the relationship between middle-school students’ mathematics self-concept and classroom type (single-sex or coeducational). One significant finding is that students in all-girls classes were more likely to disagree more strongly than all-boys and coeducational classes with the notion that mathematics is a male domain.
