Girls worse at Math?No Way,New Analisis shows |
| [00:10.200] |
girls can do just as well at math as boys-even at the genius level--if |
| [00:14.262] |
they are given the same opportunities,and encouragement,researchers reported |
| [00:17.956] |
recently.their study,pulished in the Proceedings of the National Academy of |
| [00:21.332] |
Sciences,contradicts studies showing girls can do as well as boys on average |
| [00:25.356] |
in math-but cannot excel in the way males can. |
| [00:28.854] |
they also said it is a clear rebutta to Larry Summers,who as presdent of |
| [00:32.955] |
Harvard University said in 2005that biologcal differences could explain why |
| [00:39.171] |
fewer women became professors of mathematcs."we conclude that gender linequality |
| [00:44.603] |
,not lack of nnate apility or intrinsic apitude,is the primary reason fewer |
| [00:48.759] |
femaes than males are identified as excelling in mathematics performance in |
| [00:52.319] |
most countries,including the United States,"Janet hyde and Janet mertz of the |
