Austrian Educational System School Maths is compulsory during whole school time Choose focus of education after 8 years of schooling Technically or natural science oriented schools have a higher amount of maths lessons University Diploma vs. teacher training (Lehramt) Number of women enroled in teacher training for mathematics exceeds number of men 25.01.2007

Methodology Qualitative interviews Guidelines adapted to Austrian context 5 girls from different schools (secondary and grammar school, technical college, college for home economics) 5 female students (teacher trainees for Mathematics, Biology, Physics; Technical Mathematics) 1 female/ 4 male school teachers (secondary school, grammar school for natural sciences) 1 male university professor (department of Mathematics) 2 female policy makers (project coordinator and team member FIT-Tirol) Analysis with Analytical Framework Extraction of general themes according to theory 25.01.2007

Results I no major differences in Mathematics achievement of boys and girls at school or university (some girls might be better achievers because they are more diligent and work more accurately) pupils attribute high achievement in Mathematics to diligent behaviour and paying attention during lessons marks are the main motivation for pupils to work hard in Maths (would be helpful in the application process for apprenticeships and schools) General interest in science and future plans are main reason for choice of school (natrural sciences or humanities) Parents influence pupils‘ choices of schools; they support their children to take a decision on their own 25.01.2007

Results II professional image of mathematicians is often unclear larger number of women decide to enrol in teacher training for natural sciences at university rather than in diploma studies (easier to combine family plans with beeing a teacher) women might need network structures to support their self-conciousness with regards to Maths Example: FIT – Frauen in die Technik (http://www.bmbwk.gv.at/FIT) funded by: Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture (BMBWK) European Social Funds Information days about natural science studies for girls FIT-Launch – network for women who study natrural sciences; supports exchange between students 25.01.2007

Suggestions for School, Curriculum, Policy Set up networks to support womens‘ self-conciousness with regard to Maths Support initiatives for the promotion of careers in technology for women Support all pupils/ students individually Support pupils to find out about their interests Support teachers to apply ICT during lessons > varied teaching methods Provide pupils/students with information about contents of Mathematics studies at university job descriptions of Mathematicians student councelling > reduce drop-out Provide parents with information about possible careers in natural sciences Improve possibility to combine career and family (e.g. all day-schools) 25.01.2007

Gender Issues in the Austrian Curricula Educational principle „Education to equality between women and men“ Motivate consideration/discussion of gender equality matters in the contents of curricula, class, educational materials Enable pupils to reflect on gender-specific discrimination INTENTIONS CONNECTED WITH THE PRINCIPLE Raising awareness of gender-specific socialisation Perception of causes/forms of gender-specific work division Reduction of role stereotypes through teaching contents, education materials, behaviour of school partners Reflection on own gender-role concepts Raising awareness of violence and sexism; Pointing out possibilities for prevention/intervention Promotion of readiness to eliminate gender-specific prejudices/ discrimination; encouragement of self-confidence and socio-cooperative attitudes; priciple of partnership between pupils http://www.bmbwk.gv.at/medienpool/9718/PDFzuPubID455.pdf 25.01.2007
