Gender-Related Beliefs and Mathematics Performance of Preservice Primary Teachers
Duru, Adem
School Science and Mathematics, v111 n4 p178-191 Apr 2011
The aim of this study was to examine whether there are gender differences in mathematics achievement and in beliefs about mathematics of preservice teachers over a period of four years. Data were collected from preservice teachers (156 males and 155 females) from the Adiyaman University Faculty of Education in Turkey. The Mathematics as a Gendered Domain instrument was used to investigate preservice teachers' beliefs about the gender differences in mathematics. The results indicated that gender had no effect on mathematics performances of the preservice primary teachers. Findings of this research show that most of the male and female preservice primary teachers do not gender-stereotype mathematics and believe that mathematics is gender neutral, although there are gender differences on some types of items of instrument. (Contains 6 tables.)
