Pre-Service Teachers’ Attitudes About Gender, Education, And Mathematical Aptitude: A Quantitative Study, Paige Barnett

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Females and mathematics are often not grouped together due to the gender bias surrounding the two.

The focus of my research is to examine preservice elementary teachers for their confidence levels in mathematics, as well as whether they hold a form of unconscious gender bias. I completed this research by developing a six-question survey instrument. The survey was administered in the spring and fall of 2023 to Math 245 and Math 246 classes, both of which are required …
