Dr. Natthapoj Vincent Trakulphadetkrai founded a nonprofit research program called MathsThroughStories.org designed to help teachers and guardians around the world to learn mathematics more effectively by teaching stories. This site provides various resources that can be used freely based on evidence, such as support for children to make their own stories. One of the research projects led by him "Representation of girls and women in mathematical pictorial books" found that women's characters are much less representative of mathematical picture books than male characters did.
Please tell us about the research results connected to the project. In particular, why is it important to learn mathematical sex and ethnic / ethnic diversity by telling stories?
MathsThroughStories.org emphasizes the benefits of education by teaching the concept of mathematics through storytelling, especially in the form of story painting, taking advantage of the research experience of the past 30 years. One of the research projects was carried out in a few countries including the UK, Ireland and Malta. This is a survey on self-reporting frequency of teachers using storybooks in mathematics lessons and about recognition (and contributing factors to recognition) of story integration in mathematics lessons. An important finding is that early adopters often use storytelling as part of everyday math classes, but teachers at elementary school (5 to 11 years old) have much less knowledge about this teaching method. The main obstacle to the report is the lack of awareness (and knowledge of education) about how the storybook fits math lessons. Therefore, MathsThroughStories.org helps raise awareness among teachers and basically encourages teachers to adopt this approach.
Regarding the importance of sex and racial / ethnic diversity in mathematical stories, I conclude from the point of view of Weitzman, Eifler, Hokada, and Ross (1972) that the picture book is read when the child is weakest . They form self-image and expectations for the future. Imagine that men and women use the knowledge and skills of mathematics to solve the leading role in the problem and that the teacher reads only the mathematical story that women and women are secondary people lurking behind the trees. If you are a girl listening only to stories with this feature, how are you and current how do you see your relationships with mathematics? Therefore, as an educator or guardian, we need to critically study educational materials that looks very colorful, cute and harmless.
I am glad to say that there are more effects of STEM women books, STEM women, and feminist scientific research, but for this list the book I have chosen has both good gifts and good referrals . It is the world. , Women in history. Many (mostly) of these books have pictures, but if you are watching them as children's books, you will hurt yourself - even for young readers and adults It is useful. Sam Maggs, author of The Fangirl's Galaxy Guide, published a beautiful book Wonder Woman. Contemporary women interview STEM and introduce 25 long women, including female-centered technology organization guide.
For women and STEM occupations, there are two commonly accepted truths (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). The number of men in these sectors exceeds the number of women. "Over the years the National Science Foundation has undertaken a nationwide effort to attract girls and young women to STEM According to NSF statistics survey of the percentage of female students who got STEM degrees, The difference between science, social science, mathematics, and physics science has been small in the last 20 years.The only STEM field for men far more than men is computer science and engineering.In real labor levels, look at the same model It is.
