Eliciting students’ beliefs about who is good at mathematics Academic Article uri icon

Abstract

  • This article highlights a series activities designed to elicit students’ mathematics-related beliefs, particularly those related to gender. As a result of the activities, females in upper level classes rated themselves as having less confidence than males and viewing a movie clip was sufficient for some students to modify their descriptions of someone who is good at mathematics.
