Maximizing Gender Equality by Minimizing Course Choice Options? Effects of Obligatory Coursework in Math on Gender Differences in STEM
Hübner, N., Wille, E., Cambria, J., Oschatz, K., Nagengast, B., & Trautwein, U. (2017). Maximizing gender equality by minimizing course choice options? Effects of obligatory coursework in math on gender differences in STEM. Journal of Educational Psychology, 109(7), 993–1009.
This study suggests that making it obligatory for young women and men to participate in advanced math courses in upper secondary school can increase their math achievement and realistic (e.g., technical) interests. However, it also seems to have the potential to negatively impact young women’s self-perceptions of their math ability. The study illustrates that well-intended educational reforms might not achieve all goals (and in fact might result in unintended side effects) when psychological factors are ignored.
