Underachievement and Underrepresentation of Hispanics in Mathematics and Mathematics-Related Careers.
Valverde, Leonard A.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v15 n2 p123-33 Mar 1984
Hispanic students have disproportionally low participation and underachievement in mathematics and underrepresentation in mathematics-related careers. Research attributes this to policies, practices, and attitudes of school personnel that are incongruent with Hispanic students' values, learning styles, and curriculum needs. (MNS)
