Abstract

Many researchers have debated potential differences between male and female students’ mathematical performance. One important factor that can impact performance is perception of the content. The purpose of the study is to investigate factors that impact high-ability male and female students’ perspectives of mathematics. Participants ( n = 12; n f = 5, n m = 7) attended a 10-day residential summer camp during which the researchers conducted individual, semistructured interviews with each participant. Using a thematic analysis, the researchers examined the interview transcripts for themes by gender. Six common themes emerged between male and female students: perseverance, performance, self-efficacy, enjoyment of content, social component, and life relevance. Female students reported that adult influence was also a factor. Further examination showed that female students are more likely to report enjoyment of content as a factor, whereas males are more likely to report perseverance and performance.
天才的思维方式相同吗?资优男女学生对数学的看法
许多研究人员都在讨论男女学生数学成绩之间的潜在差异。影响成绩的一个重要因素是对数学内容的看法。本研究旨在调查影响高能力男生和女生对数学的看法的因素。参与者(n = 12;n f = 5,n m = 7)参加了为期 10 天的寄宿夏令营,在此期间,研究人员对每位参与者进行了单独的半结构式访谈。研究人员采用主题分析法,按性别对访谈记录进行了主题分析。男女学生之间出现了六个共同的主题:毅力、表现、自我效能感、对内容的喜爱、社交成分和生活相关性。女生表示,成人的影响也是一个因素。进一步的研究表明,女生更倾向于将享受学习内容作为一个因素,而男生则更倾向于将毅力和成绩作为一个因素。
