GENDER DIFFERENCE IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING

Yıl 2005, Cilt: 7 Sayı: 1, 35 - 46, 01.06.2005

In Turkey and many other countries, both the quality of and participation to education are not at the desired levels. Particularly, there are major problems in student participation in mathematics classes and in the achievement in this course. These problems vary according to gender. In our country, the representation of females in education and in the fields related to mathematics is fairly low in relation males. In this study, the representation proportions of females and males in education were researched and the literature related to gender differences in mathematics was revised. Gender differences in mathematics are discussed in the light of literature. Finally, suggestions were provided for preventing or decreasing gender differences in mathematics teaching.

MATEMATİK ÖĞRETİMİNDE CİNSİYET FARKLILIĞI

Yıl 2005, Cilt: 7 Sayı: 1, 35 - 46, 01.06.2005

Öz

Türkiye ’de ve bir çok ülkede hem eğitimin kalitesi hem de eğitime katılım istenilen düzeyde değildir. Özellikle de matematik derslerine katılımda ve matematik başarısında büyük problemler vardır. Bu problemler cinsiyetlere göre de farklılık arz etmektedir. Ülkemizdeki kadınların eğitimde ve matematikle ilgili alanlardaki temsilleri erkeklere göre oldukça düşüktür. Bu çalışmada, ülkemizde kadın ve erkeklerin eğitim alanındaki temsil oranları araştırılmış ve matematikteki cinsiyet farklılığı ile ilgili literatür gözden geçirilmiştir. Literatürün ışığında matematikteki cinsiyet farklılığı tartışılmıştır. Son olarak ta matematikte öğretiminde cinsiyet eşitliğini desteklemek için bazı tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.
