为什么女孩子数学“差”？谜团解开

education2008

美国最新出版的一本性别研究的书说，
男孩和女孩大脑发展的次序有不同。在语言和手工方面，女孩比男孩早熟6年。而在数学和几何方面，男孩比女孩早熟四年。

结论是：如果女孩在合适的阶段学数学的话，她们的能力不比男生差。可惜，我们的教育是男女同步学习的。尤其是，如果女孩子提前入学的话，她们在数学方面将更加处于劣势。

原文：
The most important breakthrough [in gender studies] has been the discovery that the various regions of the brain develop in a different sequence in girls [than in boys]. Researchers at Virginia Tech used sophisticated electrophysiologic imaging to examine brain development in 508 normal children — 224 girls and 284 boys — ranging from 2 months to 16 years. These researchers found that while the areas of the brain involved in language and fine motor skills (such as handwriting) mature about six years earlier in girls, the areas involved in math and geometry mature about four years earlier in boys.
This finding puts much of the previous work on gender disparities in math and science in a different light. Chavez cited a study showing that among young children there are many more boys who are math geniuses than girls. But if girls had the opportunity to learn math at their own pace, the odds are good that we would have many more teenage math geniuses who are girls. Just as many boys are late bloomers with regard to literature and foreign languages, many girls are — or could be — late bloomers with regard to math and science. The real problem is not with the different mental capacities of boys and girls but with the way they are taught. Most girls attend coed schools in which girls and boys study the same subjects in the same sequence. Too often, the result of that kind of gender-blind education is that by age 12 the girls think they're no good at math and never will be. The irony is that many of those girls might be math prodigies, if only they were taught in schools whose curriculum was tailored to the individual ..

女子语言系统发达，而男子逻辑思维相对较强，我是理论上的，但也不能一概而论。我跟前就有很多女孩学习非常好。关键是从小抓起，从娃娃抓起。

前几年在一份杂志上看了一篇文章：《男性正沦为弱势性别？》是翻译文章，里面的数据是美国的数据。大致讲在学校里，从小学到中学到大学，班上的尖子生、校学生组织的干部几乎都是女生，而为问题学生开设的特殊班，几乎都是男生。作者推测是，女性更容易适应现存的教育环境，而男性则不，因此需要“因性施教”。

不管怎样，因材施教、因性施教是对的，男女生长发育的节奏不一样，思维方式不一样，日后所要担当的社会角色也不一样。

呵呵,不好说!
