Ability and Mathematics: The Mindset Revolution that Is Reshaping Education. (2013, background): “What scientists now know about brain plasticity has serious implications for teaching and grouping structures that are based upon ideas of fixed ability and limited student potential (Boaler, 2010).”
Conceptualizing Perseverance in Problem Solving as Collective Enterprise (2017, background): “However, the opening minutes of class involved a Number Talk (Boaler, 2009; Parrish, 2010) rather than a mini-lesson that directly instructed on the relevant mathematical ideas or relationships.”
Mathematics and science inequalities in the United Kingdom: when elitism, sexism and culture collide (2011, background): “Boaler described the preferences that affected girls in both schools as a ‘quest for understanding’ (2002b, p139). Zohar and Sela (2003) took the notion of ‘quest for understanding’ and considered whether it was also prevalent among girls in physics classes.”
