A study on gender differences in Kuwait

This study was carried out to see whether or not girls in Kuwait achieve lower than boys in mathematics, as in many other countries. The study begins by giving details about the education system in Kuwait, and the education of girls - when it began and how it developed. Then the study describes the variables that may affect the achievement of boys and girls in mathematics in the western countries in general and in Kuwait as a special case. The study also considers the difference in the attainment of boys and girls within specific areas of mathematics, such as Geometry, Algebra and Arithmetic, and the reasons for such differences, e.g. students attitudes, teacher behaviour and expectations, and the tasks on which teachers place more stress in the classroom.

Abstract

This study was carried out to see whether or not girls in Kuwait achieve lower than boys in mathematics, as in many other countries. The study begins by giving details about the education system in Kuwait, and the education of girls - when it began and how it developed. Then the study describes the variables that may affect the achievement of boys and girls in mathematics in the western countries in general and in Kuwait as a special case. The study also considers the difference in the attainment of boys and girls within specific areas of mathematics, such as Geometry, Algebra and Arithmetic, and the reasons for such differences, e.g. students attitudes, teacher behaviour and expectations, and the tasks on which teachers place more stress in the classroom.
