Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eccles recommends increasing the perceived value of math courses for girls, as research has shown that girls are more likely to pursue math-related careers if they believe that math is important and relevant to their future goals. Lowering girls' expectations or decreasing achievement-related experiences for boys would not be effective or equitable strategies, and increasing accessibility alone may not address the underlying issues that lead to girls being less successful in math.
