Educational equity and quality are not only research issues which
cut across different disciplines but are major determinants of
socio-economic and human development in both industrial and
developing countries. The status and role of mathematics, a subject
which has long enjoyed a privileged status in school curricula
worldwide due to its perceived role in science and technology,
render equity and quality in mathematics education at the heart of
human development. This is reflected by governments' relatively
large investments in improving the quality of mathematics education
and extending it to marginalized and underprivileged groups. The
purpose of Toward Equity in Quality in Mathematics Education is
four-fold. First, the book examines the constructs of equity and
quality and their interdependence from different perspectives.
Second, it develops a conceptual framework for studying and
analyzing the two constructs. Third, it examines, consolidates, and
re-structures the literature on equity and quality in mathematics
education. Finally, using data from TIMSS 2003, the book
investigates the within and across country impact of the different
equity-related factors on mathematics achievement in a sample of
countries representative of worldwide geographical and cultural
regions. Towards Equity in Quality in Mathematics Education uses a
multi-dimensional conceptual framework to study and analyze issues
in equity and quality. The framework consists of five perspectives
hypothesized as determinants of equity in quality in mathematics
education: Mathematical, societal, educational, ideological, and
genetic. The framework can be thought of as a pyramid with
mathematics as its base and the societal, educational, ideological,
and genetic perspectives as its faces. Thus, each point within this
pyramid represents a unique equity in quality situation i.e. with
different coordinates with respect to mathematical, societal,
educational, ideological, and genetic perspectives. Towards Equity
in Quality in Mathematics Education is useful for teachers and
researchers in mathematics education.
