چکیده

This empirical study tests the hypothesis that the versatile learning of trigonometry using interactive computer graphics would lead to a greater improvement in the performance of girls over boys. The experiment was carried out with 15 year old pupils in two schools with matched entry standards, each subdivided by ability into four corresponding mixed gender groups. In every case, experimental boys improved more than control boys and experimental girls improved more than control girls. However, whilst the control girls performance deteriorated compared with the control boys, the experimental girls performance improved in comparison with the experimental boys, eventually becoming superior in all but the least able group.
