我们介绍了一项来自英国三所大学的联合研究结果,在这三所大学中,我们调查了牛顿力学概念理解中性能性别差距的存在和持续。使用原力概念量表,我们发现所有三所大学的学生在统计上都表现出显著的性别差异,男性表现优于女性。这一差距在教学后缩小了,但没有消除,使用了各种教学方法。此外,我们发现,在指导之前,在诊断仪器上表现最差的四分位数在整个女性队列中的比例高得不成比例(∼50%)。这些学生中的大多数仍然在教学后表现最差的四分位数。对个别项目的回答分析表明,男生在几乎所有项目上的表现都好于女生。比较同一组学生在期末考试中的表现,我们发现在统计上没有显著的性别差异。
We present the results of a combined study from three UK universities where we investigate the existence and persistence of a performance gender gap in conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics. Using the Force Concept Inventory, we find that students at all three universities exhibit a statistically significant gender gap, with males outperforming females. This gap is narrowed but not eliminated after instruction, using a variety of instructional approaches. Furthermore, we find that before instruction the quartile with the lowest performance on the diagnostic instrument comprises a disproportionately high fraction (∼ 50%) of the total female cohort. The majority of these students remain in the lowest-performing quartile post-instruction. Analysis of responses to individual items shows that male students outperform female students on practically all items on the instrument. Comparing the performance of the same group of students on end-of-course examinations, we find no statistically significant gender gaps.
