Funktionales Denken und die Rolle des Geschlechts: Explorative Analyse quantitativer Testdaten

Abstract

Within the FALKE-study an achievement test for functional thinking has been administrated to more than 3000 students in the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Especially for the secondary school level meta studies find significant gender specific effects in favor of male test attendants. This article analyzes such effects for the sample of the FALKE-test and explores which items are affected in particular. Item characteristics which favor gender sensitivity of tasks in the field of functional thinking are identified.
