Preferred term

mathematics education and diversity  

Definition

  • Considerations of diversity in mathematics education usually arise in discussions that focus on disparities in the collective participation, persistence, and achievement between White males and Asian American students, on the one hand, and African Americans, Latina/o/s, Native Americans, females, and poor students, on the other. A number of conventional explanations have been offered for these differential outcomes. [Source: Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education; Mathematics Education and Diversity]
