La Discrepancia De Género En La Aptitud Intrínseca De Las Matemáticas

Abstract

So far, studies have been conducted to assess the gender gap with respect to mathematics, being a hotly debated topic. This study contradicts previous works concluding that women are on average as good at math as men but are not able to Excel intellectually in this science for what we want to know what are the intrinsic skills that influence the perspective that have students toward mathematics. With base to the response of 500 students, men and women of the universities Panamanian. The results of our research show the differences that exist between men and women in the performance of mathematics, because males are more interested towards mathematical processes that women as their performance for them during school, while females are more mechanical reasoning to solve quickly and accurately presented tasks.
