We investigated patterns of gender-based gaps in biology and chemistry through meta-analysis, reviewing data collected in 169 undergraduate biology courses. While we did not detect a significant gender gap in performance across all studies and unpublished data, we identified several factors that moderated performance differences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
