Resumen
Underachievement in mathematics along lines of race, class, and gender is a pervasive phenomenon in the Colombian educational system. In particular, black and poor students persistently lag behind their mestizo and wealthier peers. Explanations for the low performance of these students’ population are usually grounded in essentialist perspectives that mainly attribute school failure to student backgrounds. Adopting a socio-political perspective, the study I report sought to understand the ways wherein exclusion and marginalization operate within the mathematics classroom. The study focused on analyzing the relationships between students’ racial and class backgrounds, teachers’ expectations, and teaching practices.
