UK exam board science specifications reveal gender gap affecting girls' STEM choices
Original: U.K. exam board science specifications reveal gender gap that may influence girls' STEM choices
An analysis of UK exam board science specifications has found a gender gap in how science content is framed, a difference that researchers say may influence whether girls pursue STEM subjects later in life. The findings raise questions about how curriculum design and assessment materials shape students' perceptions of science and their subject choices at GCSE level and beyond.
Why now: Concerns about underrepresentation of girls in STEM remain a prominent education policy debate in the UK.
