Gender Effect on Competency Perceptions on Measurement and Evaluation: A Meta-Analysis Study

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of gender on measurement and evaluation competency using meta-analysis. By statistically combining data obtained from various studies on a given subject, meta-analysis attempts to reach a general conclusion on the results of these studies. For this purpose, studies on general competency perceptions on measurement and evaluation were collected by a literature review and 17 studies were included in the analysis. Effect sizes were calculated in 95% confidence intervals for these studies. Studies were evaluated according to the random effects model. Gender was found out to be an ineffective independent variable in competency perceptions on measurement and evaluation.
