“…However, this suggests that there is concern that the mathematical operations carried out have the potential to cause inaccuracies due to the absence of colleagues to help with the mathematical process, especially in terms of the accuracy of the operations carried out (Istiyono et al, 2019). Female students experience different conditions, where they prefer to study using a group system because it helps them to review the resulting mathematical solutions (Maji et al, 2023). Apart from that, female students have a high level of social jealousy if they get different results from their study partners (Avonts et al, 2023;Ghazu, 2023).…”

Mathematical representation is one of the higher-order thinking skills needed by students in analyzing physics cases as a form of proving the truth of understanding. Referring to the inconsistencies in the results of research on mathematical representation involving gender and the phenomenon of the high ability of female students in heterogeneous classes, it is suspected that there is a relationship between class type and mathematical representation. This study aims to analyze the increase in students' mathematical representation abilities in terms of gender differences in homogeneous classes. The research subjects consisted of class X high school students in Bantul, Indonesia, consisting of 26 boys and 27 girls. The research instrument was 5 physics questions that referred to indicators of mathematical representation. Data analysis to find out how the category of mathematical representation increases using the N-Gain index. The results of this study were (1) the improvement in the ability of the male students' mathematical representation in the medium category was superior to that of the female students, (2) the improvement in the ability to make mathematical expressions and use visual representations was better for the male students, and (3) the ability of the female students in terms of making image representations better than male students. This research implies that further research is needed to be related to the causes of students' misinterpretation in dealing with physics test.

“…The gender literacy gap was more evident in rural India, with only 66 percent of women aged between 15 and 49 years being literate, compared to over 81 percent of their male counterparts in the region (Rathod, 10 th July 2023) [34] . In fact, the LASI results indicate that higher education is related to cognitive functioning in later life, and women must achieve a higher level of education to have the same cognitive levels as aged men (Jain, 2022) [22] . Jain (2022) [22] further concludes that partial explanation to this can be attributed to the gender differences in educational achievement.…”

The education system has made major strides to close the gender gaps in student performance, but girls and boys remain deeply divided into careers which are being made much earlier than commonly thought.…”

“…The present study indicates that the disparities in science and mathematics performance may not be due to poor reading and comprehension skills of girls, but possibly due the differences in aptitude between the two genders, and/or social and cultural factors including stereotypical ideas related to the role of men and women in society, among others (Bhagat and Vijayaraghavan, 2019) [4] . Combination of individual (Interest and self-efficacy) and contextual factors (parental support and role models) influence the decision to select and pursue higher studies in STEM (Maji et al, 2023) [22] . With reference to findings about STEM, at the end of the leaky pipeline women may not be able to find a place because of reasons such as marriage, childbirth or child-care, lack of family support, gender discriminatory policies, gender-blind institutional structures, etc.…”

This study investigated gender differences in parental beliefs regarding academics and career of their children. The sample for the study consisted of 60 parents, 30 mothers and 30 fathers, who were selected from village Kharian of Jammu in JKUT whose children were in the age group of 30-70 years were studying above 8 th class. Self-devised interview schedule used for data collection through home visits, keeping in view COVID-19 SOPs as issued by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir from time to time. Most of the parents were in their middle adulthood, were educated upto 12 th class, mothers were mostly home makers and fathers held service either in governmental or private sectors. Majority of them aspired for their own education and career but due to poverty they had to leave education in between, for either jobs or marriage, and given a chance many of them would like to continue their education. Given their own outlook towards education and career, most of the parents had a positive attitude towards the education and career of their children, irrespective of their gender. Some differences in opinion were seen in their beliefs regarding career and the marriage of girls. Most of the parents wanted their daughters to take teaching as profession whereas for boys they preferred engineering and civil services. They believed that 21-25 years was the right age of marriage for girls, whereas for boys they believed that 25-30 years as the right age.
