Marta Macho-Stadler

Marta Macho-Stadler is a professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of the Basque Country, known for her insights into gender disparities in math education. In response to recent research on the mathematical gender gap, she has articulated the impact of sociocultural beliefs on children's self-perception in math, particularly how girls are often made to feel less capable than boys. Macho-Stadler advocates for educational practices that foster equality and confidence in mathematics for all students, regardless of gender.
