摘要：AbstractThis study examined gender differences in 100 Pakistani high-school students’ attitudes towards science subjects, their perceptions of science and scientists, and their views about majoring in science. The study was also aimed to identify some of the factors underlying females’ under representation and low participation in science reported in previous research studies. Questionnaire developed by Miller, Blessing and Schwartz, 2006 was adapted for data collection. The questionnaire consisted of three parts. In its 1stpart, a list of thirteen subjects being taught at matriculation level was given to choose from. In 2ndpart, they were asked to name their favourite and what they liked most and least about that particular subject. Finally, they were asked five open ended questions regarding their college major and other matters related to science. Educational implications are also discussed.
