PS>During my reserch project( a two year study that measured interactive
PS>variables versus math computation abilities ) I found that the majority
PS>of chronic behavior problems were boys, the majority of remedial
PS>students were boys, and the minority of students in the gifted program
PS>were boys.
I would say that this agrees with my experience as well..
PS>Yet, the project revealed no statisical significance in learning growth
PS>between girls and boys.
How is the "learning growth" being assessed, and may we
assume that this is not the same as LEVEL of learning?
PS>This data is really weird,
So far I haven't seen anything weird?
PS>especially considering that the literature proved that girls generally
PS>are two years more mature than boys.
I'm not sure literature can "prove" anything; it can
certainly STATE something.... I'm missing some pieces I
guess.. From what you've said, I see nothing out of the
ordinary; nothing "weird"... Am I missing some background
somewhere?
