Abstract

Past research has shown a male advantage in mathematics compared to females, as well as gender differences in mathematics performance by type of item. However, most past research has focused on gender differences within one cultural group. This research examines gender differential item functioning (DIF) across four jurisdictions that took part in a large-scale international assessment: Canada, Shanghai (China), Finland, and Turkey. The findings from each jurisdiction were consistent with previous research findings: selected response formats tended to favour males, while constructed response item formats tended to favour females. Similar proportions of items favoured one gender group over the other across jurisdictions, and Finland had the greatest number of items that exhibited DIF in favour of both genders.

Özet

Yapılan çalışmalar hem erkeklerin kızlara göre matematikte daha avantajlı olduğunu, hem de madde türlerine göre matematik performansında cinsiyete göre farklılıkların olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu geçmiş çalışmaların çoğunda cinsiyet farklılıkları sadece bir kültürel grupta incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada ise, cinsiyete göre farklı işleyen maddeler geniş ölçekli uluslararası uygulamalara katılan dört farklı bölgede incelemektedir: Kanada, Çin (Şanghay), Finlandiya ve Türkiye. Her bir bölgeye ait bulgular daha önceki araştırmaların sonuçlarını desteklemektedir: genel olarak, çoktan seçmeli soruların erkekler lehine, cevabın yazılmasını gerektiren türdeki soruların ise kızlar lehine çalıştığı görülmüştür. Bölgeler arasında, kızların lehine işleyen soru oranının erkeklerin lehine işleyen soru oranına yakın olduğu, cinsiyete göre farklı işleyen madde sayısının ise en fazla Finlandiya’da olduğu görülmüştür.
