Gender Differences in Grade 12 Mathematics Performance: Gauteng Province, South Africa
Abstract This methodological, comparative and quantitative study aimed to compare the mathematics performance of male and female mathematics learners in Gauteng Province. The Umalusi council supplied the dataset used in this study, and it contained (18484 [46.63%] males, 21558 [53.84%] females and 1 [0.00%] undisclosed). The result from Pearson’s chi-square test indicated that male and female learners who enrolled for mathematics had comparable chances of passing Grade 12 (p = 0.061). Unadjusted (β = −2.667, p < 0.001, 95% CI : −3.120 to −2.215) and adjusted (β = −2.649, p < 0.001, 95% CI : −3.099 to −2.198) regression models indicated that males performed significantly better than their female counterparts in mathematics. This study recommended that a mathematics learning intervention be used at an early stage in a learner’s educational career. There is a need to conduct similar studies (using the latest data available) in all other South Africa’s provinces to validate the results presented by this study.
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.
