Economic Understanding

This paper focuses on the effect of gender differences on learning and understanding economics. More particularly, data resulting from an empirical review of relevant bibliography is discussed in the first part and the results of pertinent studies that were carried out in Greek schools are presented in the second part. With respect to high school education, Greek findings demonstrate that when girls receive the same amount of economic instruction as boys in senior high school (lyceum), they score higher than them, despite the fact that performance is measured by TEL, which is a standardized test advantaging the male way of thinking as shown by American researchers. Indeed, the superiority of girls over boys in Greek senior high schools becomes even more important considering the disadvantages of the measurement tool which is further emphasised by the fact that Greek students are not well accustomed to M-C tests. We should note however, that the difference observed is marginally statistically significant. With respect to higher education, the results showed that TUCE III is reliable for Greek economic education and more particularly with regards to the subject of interest in this paper, the boys exhibited considerably and statistically higher economic understanding than the girls. This result is consistent with the bibliographys findings.

The Difference

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the difference between high school female and male students regarding participation in the lessons of physical education and self-esteem. The sample of this study comprised 305 students (136 males, 169 females). The Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and the Fox and Corbin physical self perception profile were administered to them. Results of the study revealed significant differences in self-esteem, particularly in physical self-esteem between students with high participation and students with low participation in physical education, as well as gender differences in self-esteem especially among students with low participation in the lesson of physical education. Results also demonstrated that the participation of female students in the lesson of physical education was not affected by the self esteem level.

Abstract Background Tobacco use accounts for half the difference in life expectancy across groups of low and high socioeconomic status. The objective was to assess whether social inequalities in smoking in Canada-born young adults are also apparent among same-age immigrants, a group often viewed as disadvantaged and vulnerable to multiple health issues. Methods Data were drawn from the Interdisciplinary Study of Inequalities in Smoking, a longitudinal investigation of social inequalities in smoking in Montreal, Canada. The sample included 2,077 young adults age 18-25 (56.6% female; 18.9% immigrants). Immigrants had been in Canada 11.6 (SD 6.4) years on average. The association between level of education and current smoking was examined separately in immigrants and non-immigrants in multivariate logistic regression analyses controlling for covariates. Results Twenty percent of immigrants were current smokers compared to 24% of non-immigrants. In immigrants, relative to those who were university-educated, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) for current smoking was 1.2 (0.6, 2.3) among those with pre-university or vocational training, and 1.5 (0.7, 2.9) among those with high school education only. In non-immigrants, the adjusted ORs were 1.9 (1.4, 2.5) among those with pre-university or vocational training and 4.0 (2.9, 5.5) among those with high school education. Conclusions Despite a mean of over 10 years in Canada, young adults who immigrated to Canada did not manifest the strong social gradient in smoking apparent in non-immigrants. Identification of factors that protect immigrants from manifesting marked social inequalities in smoking could inform the development of smoking preventive intervention sensitive to social inequalities in smoking. Key messages A social gradient in smoking apparent in Canada-born young adults was not observed in same-age immigrants. Factors that protect immigrants against social inequalities in smoking should be identified.

The author of the article reconstructs the shift, which occurred in the model and disciplinary structure of «commercial» education towards «economic» one. The research is based on disciplinary approach in the history of education, which builds on subject-oriented character of knowledge and empirical analysis of Irkutsk Financial and Economic Institute case. Although the shift was being discreetly prepared for several decades and included many attempts to integrate commercial functions of education with economic field, its real start was caused by external to science and education factors. The subject area of a business economics became the point of intersection for economic and commercial disciplines. The area appeared mainly due to political and ideological campaign aimed at making the enterprises’ party core groups aware of economic knowledge. The 18th All-Union Conference of Communist Party initiated the campaign in 1941. The outbreak of war forced people to view the business economics as a scientific and practical field of study, which applies many techniques and methods of economic analysis in order to ensure effective operation and reveal its potential reserves. After obtaining the right to operate beyond the scientific and practical environment, the subject area of business economics entered the higher education area, transforming its educational and research programs and integrating the disciplinary models and structures of economic and commercial education.

The Subject

The difficulties facing the teacher of plane geometry grow constantly more baffling. Enforced attendance at school until the boy or girl is sixteen, with a group of pupils often unfitted mentally, by environment, or by ambition for a high school education, presents an immediate and ever-looming problem. An insufficient number of trade schools or excessive ambition on the part of generous parents, desirous of seeing their children in the professions rather than in the trades, fills the classes of such a subject as plane geometry. Moreover the subject is generally required for college entrance, and is regarded almost universally as cultural, broadening, and conducive to mental development characterized by clear expression and logical thinking. The position of the teacher of this subject fifteen or twenty years ago when a select few with real ability pursued the subject was not nearly so complex. Now every youth who has managed to pass to the tenth grade and takes up plane geometry all but assumes that a passing understanding of the subject is his birthright. Perhaps it would be conceded that plane geometry is the first great obstacle to the youth's securing a coveted diploma. Or possibly it might be stated thus: it is in his attack upon this subject in which the frailty of his mental make-up is most in evidence, most pitilessly laid bare, if there is such weakness; or, on the other hand, his power of intellect is here first appreciated by others, and, with great satisfaction, by himself. Hence the instructor of plane geometry to-day who would teach the subject in a forceful and effective manner, developing his pupils, convincing them of its influence, its use and keen intellectual enjoyment, must be forever on his toes inventing and contriving devices and stratagems to teach satisfactorily this large group, less clever, less ambitious, less able, than heretofore, taken in the cross-section. What a wonderful people the citizens of the United States would be intellectually several generations hence if all who attempt a high school education really had the ambition and ability to master it.
