A Comparison of Gender-Related Attitudes Towards Mathematics Between Girls in Single-Sex and Co-Educational Schools,? Hazel Clifford, University of Exeter Master Thesis, 1998. This is a report of an investigation into differences in the attitudes of girls towards the learning of mathematics. The focus is purely on attitudinal factors and is not linked to attainment. The purpose is to identify differences or similarities in attitude between girls in co-educational and single-sex education which could possibly impact upon other issues such as confidence in mathematical ability, pursuit of mathematics to higher levels and perceptions of mathematics as an acceptable female choice.It discusses past and current issues regarding gender inequity [both in general and in terms of mathematical education], the variables which impact upon it and the changes concerning this problem which have been made over the past twenty years in attempts to redress it.
