“…There has been extensive documentation of the fact that girls perceive the fields of math and science to be the domain of White boys, that they do not see these subjects as useful to either themselves or humanity in general, that they do not see themselves as successful practitioners of math and science, and that they do not enjoy these subjects (Catsambis, 1995;Fennema & Sherman, 1977;Jones, Mullis, Raizen, Weiss, & Weston, 1992;Kelly, 1987;Riesz, McNabb, Stephen, & Ziomek, 1994;Schibeci & Riley, 1986;Sherman & Fennema, 1977;Simpson & Oliver, 1985). 9 Boys, on the other hand, consistently report more positive attitudes toward science than girls (Weinburgh, 1995 ) and believe even more strongly than girls in gender stereotypes in math and science (Farenga & Joyce, 1999;Arambula Greenfield, 1997;Kelly, 1985;Riesz et al, 1994;Steinback & Gwizdala, 1995).…”
