I’m not that interested about this subject  : What do the fifteen-year-olds think about the education in physics- and technology? (English)
Abstract [sv]

Erfarenhet och tidigare forskning visar att pojkar är mer intresserade av fysik och teknik än vad flickor är vilket leder till att fler män än kvinnor arbetar inom fysik och ingenjörsyrken. Genom att göra en enkätstudie, undersöker det här arbetet om detta stämmer i ett urval av niondeklassare i Stockholmsområdet. Denna studie undersöker även om elevernas tidigare erfarenheter av fysik och teknik utanför skolan påverkar intresset för motsvarande skolämnen. Slutsaten är att pojkar är mer intresserade av fysik och teknik än vad flickor är, där skillnaden är större i teknik. Men resultaten visar även att de elever som var mer intresserade av fysik och teknik hade mer erfarenhet av ämnena sedan tidigare. Här redovisas även några konkreta tips hur lärare kan göra undervisningen mer jämlik mellan flickor och pojkar.

Abstract [en]

Experience and previous research show that boys are more interested in physics and technology than girls are, which leads to fewer women working in fields related to physics and engineering. By conducting a survey, this work investigates whether or not this holds true amongst a sample of Swedish 15-year olds in the Stockholm area. This study also investigates if the students’ past experience with physics and technology influences their interests in the corresponding school subjects. The conclusion is that boys indeed are more interested in physics and technology than girls are, with the greatest difference being in technology. However, the results also show that the students who were more interested in physics and technology also had more previous experience with the subjects. This study also presents a series of guidelines concerning how to make teaching more equal between girls and boys.
