摘要

本研究分析了1997年至2019年参加高级预科（AP）数学考试的10000000多名学生的考试成绩，考察了在AP微积分AB、微积分BC和统计学考试中，按种族划分的性别差异趋势的方向和程度。这项研究的结果表明，总体而言，女性在所有三项AP考试中的代表性都显著增加。尽管研究结果表明，从1997年到2019年，参加AP数学考试的男女比例（FMR）显著增加，并且在所有种族中都有利于女性，但在所有数学考试中，成绩优异的学生之间的性别差异仍然很大。还分析了种族内参与所有AP数学考试的FMR与最高成绩之间的关系，并讨论了在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域女性代表性不足的背景下，这些发现可能产生的影响。

Will We Ever Close the Gender Gap Among Top Mathematics Achievers? Analysis of Recent Trends by Race in Advanced Placement (AP) Exams

Analyzing the test scores of more than 10,000,000 students who participated in the Advanced Placement (AP) math exams from 1997 to 2019, this study examined the direction and magnitude of the trend in gender disparity by race in participation in and top achievement on AP Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and Statistics exams. The results of this study indicated that, in general, females’ representation in all three AP exams increased significantly. Although the findings indicated that the female-to-male ratios (FMRs) in participation in the AP math exams increased significantly from 1997 to 2019 and favored females for all races, the gender disparities among top achievers for all math exams are still substantial. The relationships between the FMRs in participation and top achievement for all AP math exams were also analyzed within races, and the possible impacts of these findings within the context of the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields were also discussed.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
