Bridging the gender gap in mathematics
Reducing gender disparities in STEM education is essential both for addressing broader gender inequalities and for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper investigates the relationship between gender differences in mathematics achievement at school—one of the strongest predictors of gender segregation in higher education—and female enrolment in STEM degree programmes across Italian provinces. Drawing on Bourdieu’s conceptualisatio…
Storytelling in STEM Disciplines
The collected papers in this Special Issue make significant contributions to educational research by demonstrating the multifaceted benefits of integrating storytelling and narrative techniques into teaching practices across various disciplines [...]
What does it mean to “grasp the rectangle”? Organization of linguistic formulation and activation of argumentative processes in geometrical problems
The purpose of this paper is to explore whether and how the verbal formulation of a task influences the activation of argumentative processes in a geometrical word problem involving figural concepts. The study adopts a multilevel explanatory mixed methods research design. Both the quantitative and qualitative experiments were based on a paradigmatic situation of figural concept proposed by Fischbein. Our main quantitative result is that different…
Assessment Practices and Beliefs
The COVID-19 crisis has strongly affected the school system. In Italy, at-distance forms of didactics have been activated, changing the physiognomy of schools in terms of social interaction, practices and the identity of the individuals. In this paper, we address the issue of how teachers are facing the crisis: our focus is on assessment, as a key variable catalyzing personal history; beliefs; the interface between students; teachers and the scho…
Changing the Order of Factors Does Not Change the Product but Does Affect Students’ Answers, Especially Girls’ Answers
This study is aimed at exploring how different formulations of the same mathematical item may influence students’ answers, and whether or not boys and girls are equally affected by differences in presentation. An experimental design was employed: the same stem-items (i.e., items with the same mathematical content and question intent) were formulated differently and administered to a probability sample of 1647 students (grade 8). All the achieveme…
An analysis of Differential Item Functioning on Invalsi tests, designed to explore gender gap in mathematical tasks
A quantitative methodology for analyzing the impact of the formulation of a mathematical item on students learning assessment
In this paper, we present a methodological approach to the investigation of the impacts of text formulation on students’ answers in mathematical problem solving-based assessment. After a review of the related literature in Mathematics education and a review of the methodologies used until now to investigate this research issue, we describe in depth our quantitative approach, providing motivations and examples of its statistical relevance and its …
