van Langen, Annemarie; Bosker, Roel; Dekkers, Hetty – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2006
Although the participation rates of females in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (or STEM) education is poor in most Western countries, considerable differences across countries exist as well. This may be due to differences in the so-called gender achievement gaps, that is, delays of one sex with respect to the other. The variation…
