Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that efforts made by schools, such as providing equal opportunities for girls in math education and exploring gender biases in teaching, can have a significant impact on girls' performance on standardized tests of mathematics. Changes in girls' biochemistry and nutrition are unlikely to be the primary factors affecting their performance on these tests, and intelligence is a complex trait that is unlikely to change significantly over short periods of time.
