Wetherall, H. J. (1989). The context of science classrooms: Relationships among expectations, attitudes, student-teacher interactions and student gender. Dissertation Abstracts International, 51 (02), 473. (UMI No. 9017492)
Data collected from 5 required and 5 elective science classes in 4 public high schools. Looked for gender differences, the effect of time on student attitudes, using Subject Area Preference Survey, & classroom interactions, using SCI science classroom observation system. Students and teachers were interviewed about perceptions of the role of women in science, relevance of science in everyday lives, and science in their future, and problems of practice, respectively. ANOVA and chi-square analysis revealed that males control classroom discourse, and time influences student attitudes. No other significant differences were revealed in statistical analyses.
