Equity for Women and Minority Groups in Mathematics and Science: A Conference for Elementary, Secondary and CollegeEducators to be held July 1993 in Decorah, Iowa

白人男性学生与女性和少数族裔学生在数学和科学方面的兴趣和成就的差异是一个需要解决的问题。在1993年7月举行的为期三天的会议上，路德学院将把美国各地路德学院的大学教育工作者和爱荷华州、明尼苏达州和威斯康星州的小学和中学教育工作者聚集在一起，审查目前关于这一主题的研究结果。200名参与者将被介绍旨在消除学生兴趣和成绩差距的材料和教学方法。演讲将集中讨论从小学到大学的课堂活动变化，包括教师教育。我们的目标是，该活动将作为一种资源，使各级教育工作者：了解学生群体之间数学科学成就和兴趣差异的原因。*采用能够消除可能导致成绩和兴趣差异的障碍和抑制因素的教学方法和材料。*鼓励更多女性和少数族裔学生从事数学和科学方面的职业。成本分担27%

This disparity in interest and achievement in mathematics and science between white male students and female and minority students is a problem that needs to be addressed. At a three day conference in July 1993, Luther College will bring together college educators from Lutheran Colleges across the United States and elementary and secondary educators from Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin to examine current research findings on this topic. Two hundred participants will be introduced to materials and pedagogical methods designed to remove the disparity in student interest and achievement. Presentations will focus on changing classroom activities from elementary through college instruction including teacher education. The goal is that the event will serve as a resource that will enable educators at all levels: * to understand the causes of the disparities math science achievement and interest among student populations. * to implement teaching methods and materials that remove obstacles and disincentives that can cause disparities in achievement and interest. * to motivate more female and minority-group students to pursue careers in mathematics and science.
