A set of 23 multiple-choice items that displayed significant gender differences on a previous Canadian science assessment test were administered to 238 Grade 12 students. Eight male and 7 female students were selected for a follow-up interview to identify any previous experiences they might have had that might have enabled them to respond to an item. Four categories were generated from their explanations. These were school-based experiences, informal experiences, common knowledge, and a final miscellaneous category. Results indicate that females consistently appealed to school-based experiences much more than did the males. Also, many of the items elicited spontaneous negative reactions from many of the females but virtually none from the males. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

The development of CMSX-6 nickel-base superalloy (density 0.288 lbs/cu. in. (7.98 gms./cc)) to meet these design requirements is presented and discussed. Extensive solution treatment studies are shown and enable the high γ/γⲠeutectic content of the as-cast

Firstly, we present how the teachers’ primary workplace is changing, moving from the traditional isolated to the networked classroom. Secondly, we point to how teachers and learners’ roles are shifting: a networked classroom calls upon the teacher’s competence,to direct or facilitate learning through both
