Gender Differences In Chemistry Performance: What Is The Relationship Between Gender, Question Type And Question Content, Ross Hudson
Dr Ross Hudson
The role of gender in chemistry performance, and other subject areas in general, has precipitated a variety of studies that have generally shown that male students performed at higher levels compared female students, particularly in a the pure sciences of physics and chemistry (Beller & Gafni, 1991; Buccheri, Gurber & Bruhwiler, 2011; Hamilton, 1998; Hedges & Howell, 1995) Differences between the observed students’ performances on the Victorian Certificate of Education (Australia) examinations (VCE) supported the findings of previous research into gender performance. Students were performing differently on the two semester examinations (VCAA, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008). Male students were performing …

Is There A Relationship Between Chemistry Performance And Question Type, Question Content And Gender?, Ross Hudson
Dr Ross Hudson
This research inquires into the effectiveness of the two predominant forms of questions - multiple-choice questions and short-answer questions - used in the State University Entrance Examination for Chemistry including the relationship between performance and gender. It examines not only the style of question but also the content type examined (recall and application questions). The research involves class trial testing of students with structured questions that examine the same material content with each type of question (multiple-choice or short-answer) and also examines the different type of content (recall or application) and finally the influence of student gender. Rasch analysis of …
