Synopsis

Integrating gender equity into mathematics curriculum and teacher education creates more inclusive learning environments. Mathematics is often perceived and taught as a gender-neutral subject, yet disparities in participation, achievement, and confidence among students of different genders reveal the influence of biases and systemic barriers. Addressing these issues requires an examination of what is taught and how, with a focus on challenging stereotypes, promoting diverse role models, and fostering equitable classroom practices. For teacher education programs, this means preparing future educators to recognize gender-based assumptions, use inclusive pedagogies, and cultivate classroom cultures that support all learners. Integrating gender equity into mathematics education is essential for unlocking students full potential. Integrating Gender Equity Into Mathematics Curriculum and Teacher Education explores how gender equity can be integrated into mathematics curriculum and teacher education to address systemic biases and promote inclusive learning environments. It examines the impact of gender on student participation and achievement, and how teacher preparation can equip educators to use equitable teaching practices. This book covers topics such as gender bias, educational assessments, and educational policy and reform, and is a useful resource for educators, sociologists, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
