ST5 : Socio-economic Influence on Students’ Achievement

This survey team aims at:
  1. Defining the landscape of perspectives and understandings of how “students’ socio-economic status” influences “mathematical achievement”
  2. Presenting a state of the art of the research literature addressing this landscape
  3. Pointing to the advances and pitfalls in existing research in the area
  4. Bridging research with the voices of multiple participants in mathematics education (students, teacher students, teachers, school leaders, parents, administrators, etc.) concerned with the area.
For fulfilling our aims, we would like to invite the broad community of mathematics educators around the world to contribute with their voices, experiences, opinions, projects, and research, by participating in different discussion and reflection projects using new social media.
