Course Requirements

Students will be expected to engage with video lectures and interactive modules that introduce both mathematical concepts and strategies for promoting gender equality. Weekly assignments will include maintaining a reflection journal to document personal insights and experiences related to gender bias, as well as completing math problem-solving tasks that integrate gender equality themes. Participation in collaborative discussions will be essential, allowing students to share perspectives on gender-neutral language and analyze case studies of gender disparities in mathematics. Quizzes will be administered to assess understanding of key concepts, and students will receive feedback on their reflective writings to enhance their learning experience.

Course Description

The course "Breaking Boundaries: Strategies for Promoting Gender Equality in Mathematics Classes" aims to empower students with the knowledge and skills needed to address gender biases in mathematics education. Through a combination of interactive modules, collaborative discussions, and reflective activities, students will explore the role of gender in mathematics learning and develop strategies to create more inclusive environments. The course will cover foundational topics such as differentiation formulas, alongside broader themes of gender equity in education, fostering a deeper understanding of how these elements intersect.

Course Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to identify and analyze instances of gender bias in mathematics education, articulate strategies for promoting gender equality, and apply inclusive practices in their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving. They will demonstrate an understanding of how gender dynamics influence learning and engagement in mathematics, as well as develop a critical awareness of the importance of equitable education. Ultimately, students will be equipped with the tools to advocate for and implement changes that foster a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students in mathematics.
