Dear colleague,
As a member of “European Woman in Mathematics Association” we want to
inform you on PREMA project and invite you to collaborate with us
promote a gender sensitive math education.
PREMA aims at understanding the socio-cultural and pedagogic factors
responsible for the gender gap in Math education. PREMA is about
initiating an intervention to alleviate the gender gap in Math’s
education.
This is to be achieved by the articulation of a teacher training
curriculum framework on gender and mathematics that will include a set of
reflective tools to assist teachers to be aware, ask questions and reflect
on gender issues.
Through virtual meetings, brainstorming and discussions forums, a
preliminary version of the tools kit developed by PREMA will be presented
for analysis , criticism and discussion, in Prema 2 Network. It is through
this knowledge sharing process with teachers, trainers and researchers
from across Europe that we will be able to develop a powerful set of
tools.
The Network activities will be followed by National workshops in several
Europeans cities to test the tools to be developed.
The registration process is easy and short. All you have to do is follow
the link http://prema2.iacm.forth.gr
We hope to collaborate with you in PREMA2 Network.
For any questions or further information,
Alexander Landsman
Network Responsible
