Purwoko Haryadi Santoso 2024¶

Purwoko Haryadi Santoso, Bayu Setiaji, Wahyudi, Johan Syahbrudin, Syamsul Bahri, Fathurrahman, A. Suci Rizky Ananda, Yusuf Sodhiqin. (2024). Exploring gender differences in the Force Concept Inventory using a random effects meta-analysis of international studies. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07190

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Descriptive observation from the forest plot of 38 pooled studies. The article identifies two non-NA studies [46,47] where "female students outperform the male cohorts as probed by the FCI test", the leftmost direction of the effect size continuum.

"Unsurprisingly, there were two studies from non-NA authors [46,47] showing that their female students outperform the male cohorts as probed by the FCI test."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause

Related Claims¶

• Mean FCI scores differ significantly between male and female students at a moderate magnitude favoring male students (g = 0.61) across international PER studies — reports the opposite
• Study location (NA vs non-NA) significantly moderates the FCI gender gap, with wider gaps in NA-based studies — related
• Within the group learning treatment, female students achieved significantly higher mathematics post-test scores than male students — related
