dc.description.abstract |
This study sought to better understand girls and science investigating attitudes and learning environment perceptions. The research drew on an interpretivist paradigm, using a mixed method explanatory sequential design. Quantitative data collection (N=204 secondary students) involved surveys to assess attitudes towards science classes and learning environment perceptions. Qualitative information involved 42 interviews (N=42). Findings highlight the need to continue offering and promoting science and STEM in a gender-balanced way to increase girl’s engagement. | en_US |
