GENDER REASONS, SCHOOL MATHEMATICS AND SUBJECTIVITY: THE CASE OF FOTINI
Abstract
The interaction of gender and mathematics influences the way girls and boys construct their subjectivity and is a topic of particular interest in mathematics education. Thus, the present work focuses on a case study in which Fotini, a mathematics teacher in secondary education, expresses, through her narration, her feelings and experiences as a student and as a teacher. An attempt is made to understand how the gendered discourse which refers to the relation of women and mathematics influences the way she forms her identity, defines her decision-making and action process, and traps her in the bipolar male / female and proficient / not proficient in Mathematics.
