Effects of Contextual Problems on Female Students' Engagement in Mathematics
Contextual problems in mathematics education, such as those related to fashion or other practical scenarios, can hinder female students' engagement and performance in mathematics. Studies have found that contextual problems often make no practical sense and may penalize students for using common sense alongside mathematical knowledge. This results in lower engagement and prevents students from effectively solving word problems, as these problems may only make sense in a math test, not in real-world scenarios. Research suggests that hands-on, practical scenarios are more effective in engaging students and prompting them to find solutions.
