  • Description of Presentation:

    This study examines how adolescents’ view of mathematics as a gendered domain varies based on one’s gender and class type (i.e., single-sex or coeducational). One significant finding from the study is that participants typically associated mathematics as a neutral domain (i.e., for both females and males).
