Differential gender performance on math assessment has received continuing attention in the United States. However, research on math gender differences has been thwarted by the lack of rigorous methodology and the lack of generalizable findings. This book, investigates the math gender issue among fifteen-year olds in the U.S, using multi-year data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), one of the largest international comparison studies. The analyses take advantage of advanced measurement models such as item response models, latent regression models, and mixture models. The results shed light on how various cognitive and noncognitive (i.e., interests, motivation, learning strategies) factors underlie the differential math performance between males and females. This book should be helpful to researchers interested in math gender research and also to researchers interested in the application of advanced measurement models in educational and psychological research.

Over the past few decades, education researchers have repeatedly found that male students outperform their female peers on standardized mathematics tests. The attention has turned to factors associated with this phenomenon, with student characteristics and social contexts being a prime focus. Less studied, however, is variability in the magnitude of gender differences in mathematics performance across schools and the impact that school environments might play in this gender difference. The current study seeks to: a) investigate whether differential gender performance exists in a large-scale mathematics assessment and to what extent gender differences vary across schools and b) identify school factors associated with school variability in the size of gender differences in mathematics performance. The current study uses data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) collected in 2015 from 8th graders and high performing 12th graders in the US. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) is the main statistical analysis framework for the study. In particular, this study uses a two-level HLM models with students as the level I model unit and schools or teachers as the level II model unit. The results indicate that for students in both 8th and 12th grades, males perform better than females. There was also substantial variability between schools in the size of the gender difference in mathematics performance. School-level HLM analyses indicate several predictors are associated with the within-school gender gap, such as the presence of a mathematics resource shortage, communication among teachers, teacher confidence, and teacher support of student participation. For high performing12th graders, whether teachers felt their school was safe and orderly was associated with the within-school gender gap in mathematics performance. Further analyses using a teacher-level HLM demonstrate that female teachers and teachers under age 30 are more likely to have classes with a wider gender gap in mathematics performance. In addition, and consistent with results from the school-level HLM, teachers who support student participation are more likely to have classes with a smaller gender gap in mathematics performance. Altogether, this study shows the complexity of the within-school gender gap in mathematics performance and suggests the need for future studies.

Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.

Why a book on gender issues in mathematics in the 21st century? Several factors have influenced the undertaking of this project by the editors. First, an international volume focusing on gender and mathematics has not appeared since publication of papers emerging from the 1996 International Congress on Mathematical Education (Keitel, 1998). Surely it was time for an updated look at this critical area of mathematics education. Second, we have had lively discussion and working groups on gender issues at conferences of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education [PME] for the past four years, sessions at which stimulating and ground-breaking research has been discussed by participants from many different countries. Some publication seemed essential to share this new knowledge emerging from a wider variety of countries and from different cultural perspectives. Third, some western countries such as Australia and the USA have experienced in recent years a focus on the “boy problem,” with an underlying assumption that issues of females and mathematics have been solved and are no longer worthy of interest. Thus it seemed timely to look more closely at the issue of gender and mathematics internationally. When the idea for this volume first emerged, invitations were issued to those regularly attending the working and discussion groups at PME. Potential authors were charged to focus on gender issues in mathematics and were given wide scope to hone in on the issues that were central to their own research efforts, or were in receipt or in need of close attention in their own national or regional contexts.

There have been many important changes in the participation of women and men in American society over the past quarter-century. Tests play a role in those changes by providing evidence of the diverse achievement and proficiency of women and men. They aid the learning process and reflect inequalities in opportunity to learn and participate. In addition, they provide useful information in considering what alternatives in education and work make most sense for individuals and influence views about groups of students, educational programs, and a wide range of issues. For all of these reasons, it is important that tests assess fairly and reflect accurately the ways young people are and are not achieving as well as desired. The test performance of women and men is a research topic of historical interest and has received much attention in recent years. Because of this increased interest, there is a great deal of new research and data available. The purpose of the study presented in this volume was to review this new information with two objectives in mind: *to clarify patterns of gender difference and similarity in test performance and related achievements, and *to see what implications those findings might have for fair assessment and, as a corollary, examine the assessment process as a possible source of gender differences. This study is interested in tests used in education to assess developed knowledge and skill. In order to gain a broader view of gender similarity and difference, the contributors looked at other types of measures and other characteristics of young women and men. Their hope is to contribute to a firmer basis for insuring fairness in tests--an objective which is particularly important as the field moves increasingly to new forms of assessment in which there is less experience.

'The purpose of this report is to provide an in depth look at the TIMSS achievement results by gender. Results previously reported from TIMSS show that much effort still is needed to achieve gender equity in mathematics and science achievement around the world. While the TIMSS results show few differences inaverage mathematics achievement by gender at the fourth and eighth grades, there were substantial gender differences in mathematics achievement for students in the final year of secondary school (Grade 12 in many countries). In science, gender differences were present in many countries even at grade four and were overwhelming for students in the final year of secondary school' -- intro.

This paper contains a new analysis of gender differences in early grade reading and mathematics outcomes in 19 USAID-funded studies over the past decade from 14 locations in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The paper addresses gaps in the literature related to learning patterns for girls and boys in lower- and middle-income countries and in early primary school. We analyzed the results from reading and mathematics assessments in grades 2 and 3, including differences in oral reading fluency (ORF) and quantitative comparison scores between boys and girls, as well as differences in score distributions by gender. In line with results from assessments in upper grades and in wealthier countries, we found that girls consistently outperformed boys in reading. In mathematics, boys slightly outperformed girls, although the differences were typically not large. Global experience has shown that patterns in poor performance become more entrenched the further learners progress through the grades, suggesting that early interventions for boys in reading and girls in mathematics could have long-term benefits. At the same time, both girls and boys typically score below expectations in the two subjects across countries, necessitating targeted strategies to improve outcomes for both genders early in their educational trajectories.

Gender differences in the STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines are widespread in most OECD countries and mathematics is the only subject where typically girls tend to underperform with respect to boys. This paper describes the gender gap in math test scores in Italy, which is one of the countries displaying the largest differential between boys and girls according to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), we use data from an Italian national level learning assessment, involving children in selected grades from second to tenth. We first analyse the magnitude of the gender gap using OLS regression and school fixed-effect models for each grade separately.Our results show that girls systematically underperform boys, even after controlling for an array of individual and family background characteristics, and that the average gap increases with children's age. We then study the gender gap throughout the test scores distribution, using quantile regression and metric-free methods, and find that the differential is small at the lowest percentiles of the grade distribution, but large among top performing children. Finally, we estimate dynamic models relating math performance at two consecutive assessments. Lacking longitudinal data, we use a pseudo panel technique and find that girls' average test scores are consistently lower than those of boys at all school years, even conditional on previous scores.
