“…Other have carried out specific training programs to improve teaching [18][19][20][21][22]. Some have focused on the analysis of the figure of teachers based on educational policies and reforms promoted by the state [23,24]. Likewise, many of them have unified the science and mathematics faculty to analyze teacher leadership capacity and professional development [10,12,[23][24][25].…”

Likewise, many of them have unified the science and mathematics faculty to analyze teacher leadership capacity and professional development [10,12,[23][24][25].

“…Other studies opted for awareness and knowledge of the educational policies [24], promoted by the government as a preliminary step to the implementation of leadership. The idea was for management and faculty to be aware of the unmet needs they had in the context in which they worked (and with families).…”

The Pedagogical Leadership of the Mathematics Faculty: A Systematic Review

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Research on educational leadership has transcended the international sphere. Numerous studies have been developed on this factor of educational improvement. Few is their number, contextualized in the mathematics area and specifically the teachers. Methods: This paper presents a systematic review that highlights the importance of school leadership and mathematics education, providing empirical evidence on the positive impact that the former has on the latter. The method has been adapted to the guidelines promulgated in the PRISMA declaration, to ensure its systematicity. Results: Regarding the results, most of the research included in this review has found positive leadership effects on teacher professionalism, teaching and learning processes, and student performance. Conclusions: As limitations, the prescriptive nature of legislation and organizational structures has been found, which impedes the implementation of more effective leadership modalities.

“…Quinn, Lange, and Olswang 2004argued that the details and importance of family-friendly policies must be communicated openly and consistently to all faculty and administrators so that the policies become routine and are viewed as legitimate. However, awareness and implementation of family leave policies have been lacking in academic medicine (Gunn, Freund, Kaplan, Raj, & Carr, 2014), STEM departments (Su & Bozeman, 2016) across the US, and biomedical sciences at UC Davis (Villablanca, Beckett, Nettiksimmons, & Howell, 2011). These studies encourage institutions to develop methods for reminding tenure review committees of the details of relevant family-friendly policies.…”

The intention of this study is to investigate the transparency of information on university websites regarding the policies in place related to leave and/or tenure clock extensions for child-related events such as childbirth, adoption, or placement of a foster child. The main purpose is to improve awareness about the policies existing in academia related to these events. The secondary purpose is to determine whether major institutional characteristics affect the family-friendly policies of these institutions. Nearly 80% of the institutions studied communicated some type of information on their website related to tenure clock extension policies. An analysis of the data from these colleges/universities is provided so that other institutions who are developing or reviewing their own policies are aware of the typical policies provided by other institutions. The study found significant differences in policy availability and attributes based on major institutional characteristics.

“…Traditionally, women have had to, and continue to, champion for resources, access, benefits, and promotion when it comes to gender equity issues in the academic workplace (Feeney and Bernal, 2010;Bachman, 2011;Villablanca et al, 2011;Adamo, 2013;Beddoes and Pawley, 2014;Kachchaf et al, 2015;Su and Bozeman, 2016). Changes to policies and procedures are often achieved through service and committee work which are traditionally unequally shouldered by women faculty compared to men (Guarino and Borden, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study was to identify trends in the representation of female authorship regarding the topic of the status of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in higher education in the United States from 2007 to 2018 in prominent interdisciplinary journals. We conducted a comprehensive search for articles and collected the genders of the first and senior authors from 647 citations. We assessed the number of male versus female authors, the percentages of female first authors and senior authors, and the percentage of female corresponding authors for each year. Additionally, we also analyzed the citations to determine the journals and publishers who produced the most literature in this area. Women constituted 59% overall authorship and 34% first authorship. The top publishers in this area include Sage Publications, Springer/Nature, and Elsevier. Women constituted 60% of the first authors in STEM literature on the status of women and 38% of senior authors. Although there was growth over time in first authorship in STEM literature written by women, they continue to remain a minority in senior authorship. We suggest it is women that are leading this discussion, highlighting the additional lift that women in STEM in higher education must make; researching and publishing on their own experiences as part of their self-advocacy.
