Males, Females, and Science Careers

This task explains the general problems in science through a variety of relevant and contemporary literature. It will evaluate the factors and effects that are causing the problem and propose appropriate solutions to overcome it. This problem is the difference between men and women in pursuing science-related professions. It should be noted that most of the existing literature on this subject comes from the details of women's sources. There is no doubt that women are mainly affected by this problem.

The five factors above will have a major impact on women's career choice. In short, mathematics and mathematical aspects of K - 12 level have little difference between women and men, but at the beginning of the university women are 2.5 times slower than men. Caucasian women make up 43% of the US population, but they account for only 10% of physics science, mathematics and engineering (Hewitt and Seymour, 1991). Worrying about unfair education faced by girls obscures the difficulties men face in school. In the nationwide educational progress evaluation in 1992, girls won over 12 points in reading and won 17 points in writing. According to other data, boys show that there is a high possibility of entering to lower grades of girls, maintaining grades, dropping out, suffering academic difficulties, and participating in crime, alcohol, drugs.

Critics of gender disparity in education tend to focus on the advantages of women's mathematics in science and mathematics, but do not recognize that men are behind women in literacy skills. Indeed, the score of the latest national test collected by the NAEP evaluation shows that girls meet or exceed boys' reading score at all ages. The difference in the literacy rate of the fourth grade is equivalent to the two years growth of men behind the average girl in reading and writing. In junior high school, according to the statistics of the educational test service, the disparity between sexes in the 8th grade is more than 6 times the mathematical reasoning, and mathematical reasoning is beneficial for men. These findings are worldwide, as the International Education Achievement Assessment Association (IEA) has found that gender is the most powerful predictor of research in 14 countries.
