Women with Advanced Degrees in Mathematics in Doctoral Programs in Mathematics Education: A Preliminary Research Report Presentation uri icon

Description

  • We report on analytic inductive analysis of experiences and recollections gathered through
    interviews of nine women at three universities. Each woman had an advanced degree in mathematics and chose to move into a doctoral program in collegiate mathematics education housed in a mathematics department. The focus of the two-interview protocol was exploring and extending the framework for doctoral mathematics student experience suggested by Herzig (2004a, 2004b). Preliminary results
    indicate the emergence of additional themes not previously suggested in the literature (self as teacher, self as scholar, and future possible roles), as well as a need to refine the scope of the existing categories.
