| Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 教育社會學研究所 === 98 === On the fields of study, sex-segregation is obvious and has been for a long time. Some researchers argue that parents’ expectation, learning abilities, or natural divergence plays the major role. Using data from the “Taiwan Education Panel Survey, TEPS”, I estimate the effects of parents’ educational investments, gender, and going cram schooling on the mathematic score of the senior high school students.
By analyzing the data set, it is found that: 1) parents invest more educational investments on girl than on boy; 2) the effect of gender on mathematic achievement is not significant; and 3) the effect of going cram schooling on mathematic achievement has no gender gap. According to these findings above, sex-segregation on fields of study in higher education maybe associated with socialization.
