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

白人男学生、女学生和少数族裔学生在数学和科学方面的兴趣和成就的差距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，路德学院将汇集美国各地路德学院的大学教育工作者，以及来自爱荷华州、明尼苏达州和威斯康星州的小学和中学教育工作者，审查目前关于这一主题的研究成果。将向200名参与者介绍旨在消除学生兴趣和成绩差距的材料和教学方法。演讲将集中于改变课堂活动，从小学到大学教学，包括教师教育。我们的目标是，这一活动将成为一个资源，使各级教育工作者：*了解数学科学差异的原因学生群体的成就和兴趣。*实施教学方法和教材，消除可能导致成绩和兴趣差距的障碍和阻碍因素。*鼓励更多女性和少数族裔学生投身数学和科学领域。成本份额为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.
