Women's participation in the research development of a country

Elsevier,

International Journal of Educational Research Open, Volume 8, June 2025

Women's participation in science has been growing throughout history. However, a gender gap in their equity in participation requires pragmatic strategies and public policies that motivate women's opportunities in research. This study aims to analyse the scientific contribution of female Ecuadorian researchers through a diagnosis of the metrics and co-author's criteria for scientific publications to establish strategies oriented toward women's inclusion in Ecuador's research development.

From oral counting to plotting graphs: Advances in girls' math education in the South of Brazil

Elsevier,

Journal of Mathematical Behavior, Volume 78, June 2025

Throughout the 19th century in southern Brazil, as in the whole country, girls received a poorer mathematical education than boys. Historical records of this education are scarce. The first systematic opportunity for girls to progress beyond basic arithmetic was by pursuing training as elementary school teachers. In the 20th century, several movements converged to reduce inequalities: coeducation became standard in primary schools, secondary education was standardized, and both coeducational and girls’ secondary schools expanded rapidly.

“They do not have the same needs”: Mathematics education for girls and young women in France (19th-early 20th century)

Elsevier,

Journal of Mathematical Behavior, Volume 78, June 2025

This article examines the main places and characteristics of mathematics education for girls and young women in primary and secondary schools during the 19th and early 20th century. It looks at, in particular, the mathematical content that pupils learned in these schools and the aims of the teaching they received. It shows how female mathematics teaching differed from its male counterpart by responding to various gender stereotypes referring to the ‘nature’ and social role of women. The article also presents to what extent the girls’ mathematics programs were progressively aligned with those of boys, until they became almost identical from the 1920s onwards.

Questions about belonging are particularly poignant to migrant English language teaching (ELT) professionals. However, few studies have explored migrant ELT professionals’ emotional belonging, and even fewer studies have studied how Black women native English teachers navigate their emotional belonging as they teach English abroad, in countries like Korea.
