This article, presents a study investigating relationships between gender, interest, and experience in electricity. The authorws also explore the effect of conceptual change text manipulations on learning fundamental concepts of direct current. The study's findings support the hypothesis that prior interest level, experience, and knowledge mediate apparent gender differences in learning about electricity and suggest that conceptual change text manipulations are likely to be effective for both men and women.
