本文调查了16岁以后有意学习物理的15岁女生的特点。本文分析了女生群体内男生和女生在物理调查反应中的差异和相似之处。这项分析是基于2008-2009学年期间来自137所英国学校的5034名10年级（15岁）物理学习者的回答。男孩和女孩之间的比较表明性别问题的普遍存在，男孩比女孩更有可能对物理特定结构做出积极的反应。分析还表明，16岁以后表示有意参加物理课程的女生和男生对物理老师和物理课程的反应相似，并且具有相似的物理外在动机。女生（不管她们是否有意参加物理课程）在16岁以后受到老师、家人和朋友鼓励学习物理的可能性低于男生。尽管如此，仍有一小部分女孩打算在16岁以后学习物理。打算在16岁以后学习物理的女孩和不打算在16岁以后学习物理的女孩之间的关键区别是，打算在16岁以后学习物理的女孩有更高的物理外在动机，对物理老师和课程有更积极的看法，更有竞争力，而且倾向于不那么外向。这有力地表明，更高的物理外在动机可能是鼓励一部分女孩（以及男孩）在16岁以后想要学习物理的关键因素。
This paper investigates the characteristics of 15-year-old girls who express an intention to study physics post-16. This paper unpacks issues around within-girl group differences and similarities between boys and girls in survey responses about physics. The analysis is based on the year 10 (age 15 years) responses of 5,034 students from 137 UK schools as learners of physics during the academic year 2008–2009. A comparison between boys and girls indicates the pervasiveness of gender issues, with boys more likely to respond positively towards physics-specific constructs than girls. The analysis also indicates that girls and boys who expressed intentions to participate in physics post-16 gave similar responses towards their physics teachers and physics lessons and had comparable physics extrinsic motivation. Girls (regardless of their intention to participate in physics) were less likely than boys to be encouraged to study physics post-16 by teachers, family and friends. Despite this, there were a subset of girls still intending to study physics post-16. The crucial differences between the girls who intended to study physics post-16 and those who did not is that girls who intend to study physics post-16 had higher physics extrinsic motivation, more positive perceptions of physics teachers and lessons, greater competitiveness and a tendency to be less extrovert. This strongly suggests that higher extrinsic motivation in physics could be the crucial underlying key that encourages a subset of girls (as well as boys) in wanting to pursue physics post-16.
