Inhalt: "Achievement-related beliefs were examined among a group of 238 college students in engineering (38 female, 104 male) and nonengineering majors (57 female, 39 male) to understand why women enter engineering majors at a low rate and are more likely than men to leave such majors. The results indicated that (a) among the engineering majors, women were more likely than men to identify engineering aptitude as a fixed ability, a belief that was associated with a tendency to drop classes when faced with difficulty; (b) female engineering majors were more likely to perceive male and female engineering students as receiving different treatment than their male counterparts; and (c) female engineering majors tended to place more emphasis on extrinsic factors and less emphasis on intrinsic factors than female nonengineering majors, a pattern not seen among men. Implications for intervention programs are discussed." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "What are some of the barriers to women's achievement in postsecondary settings, particularly
in math and science? How can educators support the development of females to ensure
that they reach their potential? Nonintellectual factors may improve the prediction
of academic success beyond intellectual dispositions, and yet the typical coed university
is still a chilly climate for women. What other issues are occurring in the social
context for female students? This article explores the "cycle" of women's experience
of learning, focusing on students in an introductory math course and on preservice
teachers. Implications for graduate women students are also considered." (author's

Identifying determinants of academic selfconfidence among science, math, engineering,
and technology students

Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 7 (2001) No. 4, S. 315-337
Details
Inhalt: "This study attempts to identify determinants of the gender gap in science, math,
engineering, and technology (SMET) students' levels of self-confidence in math, science,
and overall academic ability. Results from multivariate regression analyses of 336
undergraduate engineering majors at the University of Washington (UW) who completed
the Engineering Student Experience Survey point to perceived respect from professors
as the strongest determinant of female academic self-confidence, whereas the perceived
quality of teaching is the strongest predictor among male students. Results from multivariate
regression analyses of the Undergraduate Retention Study, a longitudinal study of
nine cohorts of female undergraduates interested in SMET study at UW, support the
finding that female students' selfconfidence levels tend more than those of male students
to be influenced by external factors. Analyses also reveal the determinants of math
self-confidence to be different from factors that determine science self-confidence.
These factors are found to vary by class level as well." (author's abstract)|

Inhalt: Seit Januar 2000 existiert an der Universität Paderborn fächerübergreifend und von der Informatik (Fachbereich Mathematik/ Informatik) und Wirtschaftsinformatik (Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften) getragen die Initiative "Frauen gestalten die Informationsgesellschaft". Ziel der Initiative ist es, mehr Schülerinnen für die Informatikstudiengänge zu motivieren, die Studentinnen im Studium zu halten und deren Einstieg ins Berufsleben zu begleiten. Der Anteil weiblicher Studierender an deutschen Hochschulen im Fachbereich Informatik liegt seit 1975 bei unter 20 Prozent. Die verschiedenen Maßnahmen, mit denen innerhalb des Projektes versucht wird, diesen Anteil zu erhöhen und insgesamt zum Studienerfolg beizutragen, reichen von studienbegleitenden Veranstaltungen bis zu neu erarbeiteten Informationsmaterialien zu den Berufsbildern von Informatikerinnen.
