The purpose of this study was to explore gender differences in mathematics achievement as demonstrated by performance on the mathematics subsection of a nationwide high school entrance examination in Turkey. In this study, the cities in Turkey were separated into five groups according to their level of economic development. The analysis was based on 2647 students that were randomly selected from these five different groups of cities. Although results indicated a statistically significant difference in mathematics achievement in favor of cities with the highest economic status, the effect size was quite small, which indicates the difference was not practically significant. Results also showed the effect sizes for gender differences in mathematics achievement were very small in all groups of cities. It was concluded that socio‐economic development of the regions was not a critical factor for gender differences in mathematics achievement.

Gender differences in academic performance in a large public university in Turkey
Dayıoğlu Tayfur, Meltem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-02-01)
The paper attempts to determine whether there are significant gender differences in academic performance among undergraduate students in a large public university in Turkey based on three indicators; university entrance scores, performance in the English preparatory school and in the program the student is majoring in. The paper finds that a smaller number of female students manage to enter the university and when they do so, they enter with lower scores. However, once they are admitted to the university, t...
Pre-service Teachers Performance in Their University Coursework and Mathematical Self Efficacy Beliefs What is the Role of Gender and Year in Program
Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2005-01-01)
This study investigates the effects of gender and year in program on the performance and mathematical selfefficacy beliefs of 145 pre-service mathematics teachers in Turkey. One of the main purposes of this study is to investigate how duration in a teacher education program influenced the performance and mathematical selfefficacy beliefs of pre-service teachers. In addition, gender differences between male and female pre-service mathematics teachers, depending upon year in program, are examined. Results rev...
Gender perspective on the factors predicting recycling behavior: Implications from the theory of planned behavior
Öztekin, Ceren; Teksöz, Gaye; Kilic, Dilek Sultan; Şahin, Elvan (2017-04-01)
This study aimed to assess the role of some socio-psychological attributes in explaining recycling behavior of Turkish university community from a gender perspective within the context of the theory of planned behavior with an additional variable (past experience). The recycling behavior of whole sample, females and males, has been examined in 3 sessions-depending on the arguments that explain gendered pattern of private and public environmental behavior and sticking to the fact why females' stronger enviro...
Casual relations among 12th grade students' geometry knowledge, spatial ability, gender and school type
Eryılmaz Çevirgen, Ayşegül; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study is to invetigate the causal relationships among 12th grade students’ geometry knowledge regarding prisms and pyramids, spatial ability, gender, and school type. Path analysis was used to test the relationships among knowledge factors (declarative, conditional, and procedural knowledge), spatial ability factors (spatial visualization, mental rotation, and spatial perception ability), gender (female and male), and school type (general high schools and Anatolian high schools). Knowled...
Investigating self-efficacy, anxiety, attitudes and mathematics achievement regarding gender and school type
Recber, Senol; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Koc, Yusuf (2018-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among seventh grade students' mathematics self-efficacy, mathematics anxiety, attitudes towards mathematics, mathematics achievement, gender and school type. In order to examine the difference in self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude and achievement in terms of gender and school type, two-way ANO-VAs were performed. In addition, multiple regression analysis was run to investigate the role of mathematics self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude, gender and sch...
