Educational Studies, v10 n3 p243-53 1984

Results showed differences in subject preference between male and female students and between mixed and single-sex schools in England. Perceptions of subject importance also showed some sex differences, but on the whole males and females from both kinds of schools are in broad agreement as to the relative importance of subjects.
