{"product_id":"9780898593693","title":"Women and Mathematics : Balancing the Equation (Psychology of Education and Instruction Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1985. In the mid-seventies, there was growing concern that early decisions not to study mathematics in high school might be limiting the occupational options available to women. As part of a larger program on career development, the Career Awareness Division of the Education and Work Group, then one of the major organizational units of the National Institute of Education (NIE), initiated a special research grants program on women and mathematics. Research information that would sort out the competing explanations for women’s lower rate of participation seemed a useful contribution to debates about possible remedial actions. Should there be, for example, widespread development and implementation of programs designed to reduce mathematics anxiety? This volume represents the culmination of a research program with many contributions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49516961300707,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780898593693-1.jpg?v=1788506467","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780898593693","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
