Learning Goals and Styles by Gender -- A Study of NUS Students

This newsletter, from the National University of Singapore, contains an article discussing whether men and women learn differently. The author surveyed students on how they felt about goals that "drive one to master a topic and learn it well," encourage them to get good grades, and motivate one to study in order to obtain acceptance by one's community.
This study found that women were more socially motivated in their approach to academics. Women preferred working with peers and looked for social recognition.
