An International Workshop: 
Gender-Sensitivity and Pluralism in Mathematics Education

PREMA International Workshop on  Gender-Sensitivity and Pluralism in Mathematics Education took place at the Parc Cientific of the University of Barcelona, during 25-26 of January 2007.

More than 70 participants from 15 European States have taken active part in the workshop and presented state of the art research findings, policy making case studies and educational programs, all related to the promotion of gender-sensitive maths and science education. PREMA Consortium wishes to thank all those who took part in the workshop. The objectives of the workshop were put in terms of the following key questions: In what ways can mathematics education in Europe become gender-sensitive? Could gender-sensitivity contribute to pluralism in mathematics education?

The departure point for the workshop was a presentation of the research conducted during PREMA project and its results. Then, the workshop discussions focused on the following themes:

1. Contesting Mathematics
2. Math teaching: practice and theory
3. Classroom Processes
4. Methods, applications and tools
5. Policy, regulation and planning.

PREMA Consortium has invited a group of experts to edit the workshop proceedings, which will be published in the coming months.
