This week at the CEN seminar, Dr Franck Ramus will be presenting a talk entitled “Gender differences in mathematics in 1st grade: what are the causes? How to reduce them?”
Recent surveys indicate that gender differences in mathematics—favoring boys—emerge as early as first grade, in France as in the United States. This presentation will report on several studies conducted with cohorts of French children, designed to test hypotheses about the social factors that may contribute to this gap. Additionally, CEN will discuss an experimental study aimed at training first-grade teachers to help prevent the emergence of this disparity.
This is a CEN event.
