Girls learn well when the coursework is collaborative and utilizes girls’ verbalskills. Literature has also shown that girls learn science well in classrooms that use hands-oninvestigations while encouraging girls to be experts and technology controllers. Thesecharacteristics help girls to have a feeling of self-efficacy necessary to combat negative attitudesand personal disbeliefs. Girls’ interest in physics can be stimulated by relating content to priorexperiences, encouraging discussion on the social importance of physics, and showing physics inrelation to the human body.
