Significant Reduction in Gender Grade Disparities in a Reformed Introductory Physics Course
written by Wendell H. Potter, Charles J. De Leone, Catherine M. Ishikawa, Jacob Blickenstaff, and Patrick L. Hession
This paper, presented at the 2001 Physics Education Research Conference, is a preliminary report of data from a study on the grade distribution between males and females in a traditionally structured introductory physics course for biological science majors at the University of California. In the traditional course there was a persistent and stable pattern of letter-grade distributions in which males received a disproportionate share of high grades and females received a disproportionate share of low grades. This gender disparity has been significantly reduced for the same population of students in the reformed course.
