by G. Hanna

Towards gender equity in mathematics education :an ICMI study Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The present volume consists of original scholarly articles that develop further issues pertaining to gender equity in mathematics education. The premise - that there is no physical or intellectual barrier to the participation of women in mathematics, science, and technology - provides the starting point for analyses and discussion. The authors explore the attitudinal and societal/structural reasons for the gender imbalance in these fields and look at foci for change, including curriculum and assessment practices, classroom and school cultures, and teacher education programs. A major part of the book comprises a series of detailed descriptive studies of education systems across the world from the perspective of mathematics and gender equity issues.

Book News Annotation:

A collection of 19 solicited scholarly articles developing issues regarding gender equity in mathematics education. The volume was seeded by the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction and bases itself on the premise that there is no physical or intellectual barrier to women's participation in mathematics, science, and technology. The international group of contributors starts from that point and analyzes the attitudes and societal structures that promote gender imbalance in mathematics and science, suggesting points of change in curriculum and assessment practices, classroom cultures, and teacher education programs. 13 of the discussions are case studies of education systems spanning the globe from Europe, the US, Australia, Mexico, and China. Lacks an index.
