Gender, math, education.Abstract
This literature review critically examines relevant literature on gender disparities in educational contexts, with a particular focus on factors contributing to gender imbalances in student applications and enrollment figures. By analyzing studies and expert insights from Jennie Weiner, Azza Karam, and findings from a Yale study on teachers' perceptions, this review aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms of gender bias and propose informed strategies to foster a more gender-inclusive educational environment.
