AI总结:

本文通过双样本 t 检验和问卷调查分析阿联酋工程专业微积分课程的性别成绩差异,发现课外学习时间是显著因素,并提出教师可实施的短期干预策略。

摘要:

在工程类数学课程中,女性在学业表现上优于男性的趋势日益明显。为证实这一假设,研究考察了阿联酋一所地方大学工程学科各专业微积分课程中两个独立学生样本的期末成绩。双样本 t 检验表明,两性之间的表现存在显著差异。据此,研究设计了一项调查,以识别可能导致这一情况的因素。调查分析发现,课外学习时间是造成性别成绩差异的一个具有统计显著性的因素。基于这些结果,本文提出了教师可采用的即时短期解决方案,以应对这一问题。本研究主张有必要在微观层面持续开展研究,以识别基于性别的学生表现差异。此类研究有助于即时干预,从而弥合这一差距。

英文摘要:

There has been an increasing trend of females performing better than males academically across the mathematical engineering courses. To confirm this assumption, final marks of two independent samples of students from Calculus courses across all fields within Engineering at a local university of UAE are considered. A two-sample t-test indicates a significant difference in the performance between the two genders. Accordingly, a survey was designed to identify factors that may yield to this scenario. Analysis of the survey found that the time spend studying outside the classroom is a statistically significant factor contributing to the disparity between the gender performances. Based on these results, we propose immediate short-term solutions that can be applied by instructors to address this issue. This study advocates the need of continuous research at micro level to identify gender-based student performance variance. Such researches can assist in immediate intervention thereby leading to the bridging of such a gap.
