    Gender gaps in STEM education participation become more obvious in... - ProProfs

    Gender gaps in STEM education participation become more obvious in...

    • Secondary schools

    • Higher education

    • Primary schools

    • High schools

    Correct Answer
    A. Higher education
    Explanation
    Gender gaps in STEM education participation become more obvious in higher education. This is because at this level, there is a higher level of specialization and focus on specific STEM fields, which may discourage or exclude women from participating. Additionally, societal stereotypes and biases often discourage women from pursuing STEM fields, leading to a lower representation of women in higher education STEM programs. Therefore, the gender gap becomes more pronounced in higher education compared to primary and secondary schools.

    Female education in STEM includes child and adult female represented in these fields except... - ProProfs

    Female education in STEM includes child and adult female represented in these fields except...

    • Science

    • English

    • Technology

    • Mathematics

    Correct Answer
    A. English
    Explanation
    Female education in STEM refers to the education and representation of women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. English, while an important subject, does not fall under the STEM fields. Therefore, it is excluded from the list of subjects that are included in female education in STEM.

    These are the causes of girl's and women's under-representation in STEM except... - ProProfs

    These are the causes of girl's and women's under-representation in STEM except...

    • Discrimination

    • Bias

    • Gender-related deormities

    • Social norms

    Correct Answer
    A. Gender-related deormities
    Explanation
    The term "gender-related deformities" does not make sense in the context of under-representation of girls and women in STEM. It is likely a typographical error or a miscommunication. The other options - discrimination, bias, and social norms - are commonly recognized factors that contribute to the under-representation of girls and women in STEM fields.

    Factors influencing girl and women's participation and achievement in STEM education includes all except... - ProProfs

    Factors influencing girl and women's participation and achievement in STEM education includes all except...

    • Individual level

    • Family level

    • School level

    • Physical level

    Correct Answer
    A. Physical level
    Explanation
    The physical level does not influence girls and women's participation and achievement in STEM education. Factors such as individual level (personal interest, motivation, and self-efficacy), family level (support, encouragement, and gender stereotypes), and school level (access to resources, quality of education, and teacher bias) play a significant role in shaping their involvement and success in STEM fields. However, physical factors like physical ability or appearance do not have a direct impact on their participation and achievement in STEM education.

    Gender gap is largely in favor of boys in mathematics over ladies in these regions except... - ProProfs

    Gender gap is largely in favor of boys in mathematics over ladies in these regions except...

    • Caribbean

    • Africa

    • Asia

    • Europe

    Correct Answer
    A. Europe
    Explanation
    The gender gap in mathematics is largely in favor of boys in all regions except Europe. This means that in Europe, girls perform equally or even better than boys in mathematics compared to other regions like the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia. This could be due to various factors such as cultural attitudes towards gender roles, educational policies, and social support for girls in Europe that promote their success in mathematics.

    Girls' achievement seems to be stronger in mathematics than science. - ProProfs

    Girls' achievement seems to be stronger in mathematics than science.

    • Always ttue

    • Often true

    • Occasionally true

    • Never true

    Correct Answer
    A. Never true
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that girls' achievement in mathematics is consistently stronger than their achievement in science. However, the correct answer states that this statement is "Never true." This means that it is not accurate to claim that girls' achievement in mathematics is always stronger than their achievement in science. There may be instances where girls excel in science more than mathematics or where their achievements in both subjects are equal. Therefore, the statement cannot be generalized as always true.

    At which stage do most girls lose interest in STEM subjects? - ProProfs

    At which stage do most girls lose interest in STEM subjects?

    • Childhood

    • Teenage

    • Adolescence

    • Adulthood

    Correct Answer
    A. Adolescence
    Explanation
    During adolescence, many girls lose interest in STEM subjects. This can be attributed to various factors such as societal stereotypes, lack of representation, and gender bias in STEM fields. During this stage, girls may face peer pressure, lack of self-confidence, and limited access to resources and opportunities in STEM. These challenges can discourage them from pursuing STEM subjects and careers, leading to a decline in interest. It is crucial to address these issues and provide support and encouragement to girls during adolescence to ensure their continued engagement and interest in STEM.

    Third-party-selection bias is the major reason for girls opting out of STEM. - ProProfs

    Third-party-selection bias is the major reason for girls opting out of STEM.

    • Always true

    • Often true

    • Occasionally true

    • Never true

    Correct Answer
    A. Never true
    Explanation
    The statement "Third-party-selection bias is the major reason for girls opting out of STEM" is never true. Third-party-selection bias refers to biases introduced by individuals or organizations that are not directly involved in the research process. However, when it comes to girls opting out of STEM, there are various factors at play such as societal stereotypes, lack of representation, and gender bias. These factors have been found to be the major reasons for the underrepresentation of girls in STEM fields, rather than third-party-selection bias.

    Female students represent only ____ of all students enrolled in STEM. - ProProfs

    Female students represent only ____ of all students enrolled in STEM.

    • 20%

    • 30%

    • 35%

    • 45%

    Correct Answer
    A. 35%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 35%. This means that out of all the students enrolled in STEM, 35% of them are female. This indicates that there is a gender imbalance in STEM fields, with males being the majority. Increasing the representation of female students in STEM is important for achieving gender equality and promoting diversity in these fields.
