This is a survey type that attempts to describe the participation level of girls’ students in higher secondary level mathematics and to analyze the factors that affect participants. Six higher secondary schools were selected randomly from all higher schools of Doti District including rural and urban area. One set of observation schedule was administered to find out the level of girl students participation in mathematics class of selected class of sample higher secondary schools. And one set of opinionnaire scale was prepared and distributed to the girls’ students to find out the effect of teaching learning process, home environment, social variable, time variable, school environment and attitude towards mathematics in girl participation. Concerning to above factors unstructured interviews was taken with mathematics teachers from respective sample higher schools. Statistical test such as: - value was used to interpret the result and reflection was made over the statistical judgment. This study shows that the participation of girl students is very low in comparison to boys in Mathematics. The main factors that affect participation are: male dominated society, less priority given by parents to their daughter than sons, different error made by students in solving mathematical problem, home environment, school environment, teaching learning process, drill and practice.Item Girls Participation in Mathematics at University Level(Department of Mathematics Education, 2017) Rupakheti, Indira KapriThis study focused on girls’ participation in mathematics at university level. The objectives of this study were to identify to explore the causes of low participation in mathematics at University level and find out the socio-cultural dimensions influence the participation of girls in higher level mathematics education. In dealing with such objectives, I used qualitative research design and Auto- ethnography approach to explore the multiple realities through the methods of interview, observation and as a research tools. One government colleges (i.e. Mahendra Ratna Campus) was selected from Kathmandu district and five students from B.Ed and M.Ed were selected on the basis of purposive sampling. Two mathematics teachers were also selected as a sample of this study. The collected data were analyzed with the help of theories and related literatures. Cross match or triangulation was adopted to maintain quality standard of the study. The study found that there is low girls participation at classroom. The girl’s students have many difficulties in learning mathematics. Early marriage, Parental belief system, Public image of mathematics, traditional teaching learning activities and family’s socioeconomic status and discrimination in classroom were the main causes of girls low participation in mathematics at University level. It has also concluded that mathematics teaching and learning ways from the schooling is not good. Existing school mathematics teaching learning practices seem failing to address social and cultural needs of the students.
