Description
The main focus of this research is to investigate the gender gap in learning processes in physics in five classrooms of sicilian primary school. After analysing the data reported in the literature related to the gender gap in learning processing, we discuss the results of a didactic pathway on the concept of energy, based on the IBSE methodology, conducted with 10-year-old pupils. We discuss the answers to a questionnaire on self-efficacy and approach to scientific disciplines, administered before and after the didactic pathway, that we realized for primary school, focusing on the differences emerging from male and female pupils.
