This book was released on 2020 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the difference in attitudes towards mathematics between male and female Hispanic students in a large Florida school system using the Attitudes Towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI). This study is important because it studies a population that is underserved in the literature of mathematics pedagogy: the Hispanic high school student. The ATMI itself has mostly been used on college students. This is one of the earliest attempts to use it in a high school setting. Though the survey was available to all students in the cooperating schools, only surveys where the student self-identified as Hispanic were examined. The results were examined using a MANOVA in the SPSS statistical package. The result was that there was a statistically significant difference between Hispanic male and female students on the ATMI scales of Self-confidence and Enjoyment, with males enjoying the edge on each. There was no statistically significant difference between Hispanic male and female students on the ATMI scales of Value and Motivation. The conclusion is that though Hispanic female high school students appreciate the advantages of a rigorous math education, and despite their motivation to achieve, there is a disconnect when translating value and motivation into self-confidence and enjoyment. This study was limited by restrictions on the number of schools that allowed access to their students, by the fact that this was not a random sample, and the fact that there was nothing to prevent students from taking the survey more than one time. It is hoped that this will spark further research into the needs of Hispanic students. A larger, more comprehensive study is needed, which includes non-Hispanic students and allows a comparison between cultural groups.

Download or read book Gender Differences in Mathematics written by Ann M. Gallagher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research into how students’ attitudes affect their learning of science related subjects has been one of the core areas of interest by science educators. The development in science education records various attempts in measuring attitudes and determining the correlations between behavior, achievements, career aspirations, gender identity and cultural inclination. Some researchers noted that attitudes can be learned and teachers can encourage students to like science subjects through persuasion. But some view that attitude is situated in context and has much to do with upbringing and environment. The critical role of attitude is well recognized in advancing science education, in particular designing curriculum and choosing powerful pedagogies and nurturing students. Since Noll’s (1935) seminal work on measuring the scientific attitudes, a steady stream of research papers describing the development and validation of scales have appeared in scholarly publications. Despite these efforts, the progress in this area has been stagnated by limited understanding of the conception of attitude, dimensionality and inability to determine the multitude of variables that made up such concept. This book makes an attempt to take stock and critically examine classical views on science attitudes and explore contemporary attempts in measuring science-related attitudes. The chapters in this book are a reflection of researchers who work tirelessly in promoting science education and highlight the current trends and future scenarios in attitude measurement.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR When Peggy Orenstein's now-classic examination of young girls and self-esteem was first published, it set off a groundswell that continues to this day. Inspired by an American Association of University Women survey that showed a steep decline in confidence as girls reach adolescence, Orenstein set out to explore the obstacles girls face--in school, in the hoime, and in our culture. For this intimate, girls' eye view of the world, Orenstein spent months observing and interviewing eighth-graders from two ethnically disparate communities, seeking to discover what was causing girls to fall into traditional patterns of self-censorship and self-doubt. By taking us into the lives of real young women who are struggling with eating disorders, sexual harrassment, and declining academic achievement, Orenstein brings the disturbing statistics to life with the skill and flair of an experienced journalist. Uncovering the adolescent roots of issues that remain important to American women throughout their lives, this groundbreaking book challenges us to change the way we raise and educate girls.

This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why a book on gender issues in mathematics in the 21st century? Several factors have influenced the undertaking of this project by the editors. First, an international volume focusing on gender and mathematics has not appeared since publication of papers emerging from the 1996 International Congress on Mathematical Education (Keitel, 1998). Surely it was time for an updated look at this critical area of mathematics education. Second, we have had lively discussion and working groups on gender issues at conferences of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education [PME] for the past four years, sessions at which stimulating and ground-breaking research has been discussed by participants from many different countries. Some publication seemed essential to share this new knowledge emerging from a wider variety of countries and from different cultural perspectives. Third, some western countries such as Australia and the USA have experienced in recent years a focus on the “boy problem,” with an underlying assumption that issues of females and mathematics have been solved and are no longer worthy of interest. Thus it seemed timely to look more closely at the issue of gender and mathematics internationally. When the idea for this volume first emerged, invitations were issued to those regularly attending the working and discussion groups at PME. Potential authors were charged to focus on gender issues in mathematics and were given wide scope to hone in on the issues that were central to their own research efforts, or were in receipt or in need of close attention in their own national or regional contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mathematics gender gap that grows as girls age has received attention by researchers from many disciplines for over 25 years. The major factors cited in the research are biological ability differences, social and environmental differences, learner variables, and the discipline and teaching of mathematics. These factors have been explored as contributors to females' lack of success and negative feelings about mathematics. However, there are females who are successful and have positive feelings about mathematics. The purpose of this book is to explore the elements that contribute to some young women's positive feelings about mathematics. A qualitative study design is used based on in-depth interviews with four female high school seniors, their parents, and their Calculus BC teacher. Portraits are presented that include the girls' family, peers, educational experiences, relationships with mathematics, learner behaviors and preferences, beliefs about the teaching and learning of mathematics, and beliefs about gender and learning. Educators, parents, and anyone who is curious about the intersection of math and gender will find this book interesting.

This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Mathematics - Miscellaneous, grade: Bachelor's Degree, University of Cape Coast, course: B.ED. Mathematics, language: English, abstract: Mathematics education is to a nation what protein is to a young human being. As a vital tool for the understanding and application of science and technology, the discipline plays the vital role of a precursor and harbinger to the much needed technological and of course national development, which has become an imperative in the developing nations of the world. Most people have heard the age-old saying, "attitude is the key to success." Various quotes can be retrieved that subscribe to this philosophy. In education, research suggests that student attitudes toward a subject lead to academic success (Royster, Harris, and Schoeps, 1999; Popham, 2005). Generally speaking, mathematics is a subject that is often disliked, motivating researchers to investigate how mathematics attitude affects mathematics learning. The topic for the study is "Sex difference in attitude towards the study of mathematics: A case study in some selected senior high schools in the cape coast metropolis." Reviewing the literature indicates that lot of work had been done in this area and in diverse ways. The target population for the study was all senior high schools form three students (SHS 3) in Ghana. However, within the limit of time and efficiency, the accessible population was made up of all SHS 3 students in the Cape Coast metropolis of Central Region. Under the categories of single sex female schools, single sex male schools and mixed sex schools, three schools were selected using the simple random sampling. For each school selected, the simple random sample was used to select 40 students. In all 120 students were selected for the study. Data for the study was collected by the use of a questionnaire. The responses of the students on the questionnaire were collated and converted to percentages. Based

This book was released on 2015 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring why more boys than girls continue to study higher levels of mathematics in senior school when there appear to be no gender differences in achievement in earlier years is worthy of investigation. There are potentially many reasons why this occurs including career aspirations, interest, and attitudes. One factor explored in this study was the gender composition of classes in Years 7 to 9. Data were collected from students in a single-sex boy's school, a single-sex girl's school and a coeducational school. Data revealed differences in attitude to mathematics with girls in the single-sex school having the most positive attitudes and girls in the coeducation setting having the least positive attitudes.
