We also sought to find the significant differences in the science-giftedness scores of students from various school programs.
The means of all scores were used to investigate the significant difference in the science-giftedness scores of various school programs, which cater to science giftedness.
In Graz (Austria) the gender differences in the natural science knowledge test attracted a lot of public attention (e.g. [ 40]).
It's pretty comparable in mathematics, although you begin to see some differences in the natural sciences and the social and behavioral sciences degrees.
Research has shown that society-specific gender stereotypes predict sex differences in science performance (Nosek, 2009), and these differences in the approach to science are hard to change due to student (and school) focus on grades over engagement with the material (Carlone, 2004).
Indeed, a few studies have detected differences in the images of science and scientists among different demographic groups (Chambers, 1983; Catsambis, 1995; Rubin et al., 2003).
We now turn to the two article introductions from chemistry (Brooks et al. 2013 and Kennedy et al. 2013), as a counterpoint to the history introductions, as we know there are differences in the discourses of science and history (Bernstein 1999, Martin 2011).
And I don't think it's fully appreciated that these divergences stem less from differences about the science than from differences in economics and ethics -- in particular, in how much obligation we should feel towards future generations.
Nothing illustrates the differences in national science installations as clearly as the reaction when the same badges were introduced at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where the primary mission is classified nuclear weapons research.
The large observed differences in the effectiveness of different science teaching practices and the similarity of those differences across disciplines (Freeman et al., 2014) can be explained in terms of the basic principles of complex learning that have been established by the learning sciences (Bransford et al., 2000; Ambrose et al., 2010; Wieman, 2012).
