Inhalt: Nach einem Überblick über den einschlägigen Forschungsstand legen die Verfasserinnen Ergebnisse einer empirischen Untersuchung vor, für die 266 Studentinnen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, der Ingenieurwissenschaften und der Informatik zum Thema "bewusste Karriereplanung" befragt wurden. Eine entsprechende Frage bejahten 43,8 % der Befragten. Eine bewusste Karriereplanung findet sich am häufigsten bei Befragten, die eine Berufstätigkeit im mittleren und oberen Managementbereich anstreben. Die meisten Frauen, die ins Top-Management streben, finden sich unter den Studentinnen im Frauen-Studiengang WirtschaftsNetze. Am niedrigsten war der Anteil in den konventionellen ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Fächern. (ICE2)

Marie Curie und ihr Laboratoire : Frauenförderung avant la lettre?
Titelübersetzung:Marie Curie and her laboratory : promoting women's right to science?

Details
Inhalt: "Die Einführung der Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung in die Wissenschaftsgeschichte hat in den letzten zwanzig Jahren zur Formulierung neuer Perspektiven, Zugänge und Fragestellungen geführt. Dabei ist deutlich geworden, dass die Chance, wissenschaftliche Forschung betreiben zu können, nicht nur von der Klasse, vom sozialen Umfeld, der Vorbildung der Eltern, der Ausbildung in Eliteinstitutionen abhängt, sondern auch vom Geschlecht. Wissenschaft kann als ein hierarchisches Arbeitssystem beschrieben werden, in dem Geschlechtergrenzen den Zugang zu Forschungsressourcen, zu Deutungsmacht und wissenschaftlicher Wahrheit markieren. Dies gesetzt, lässt sich die Frage stellen, ob und wie sich das System oder zumindest ein Teil davon verändert, wenn an der Spitze der Hierarchie eine Frau steht. Welche Möglichkeiten hat sie, die patriarchale Ordnung für andere Frauen zu öffnen, das begehrte Arbeitsfeld zugänglicher zu machen? Wie agiert sie innerhalb einer vorgegebenen Universitätsstruktur? Welche Handlungsspielräume hat sie oder erkennt sie für sich selbst? Das von Marie Curie zwischen 1906 und 1934 geleitete Laboratoire Curie (LC) in Paris bietet sich als Untersuchungsobjekt an, weil dort zunehmend Frauen wissenschaftlich arbeiteten; prozentual gesehen lag ihr Anteil relativ kontinuierlich bei 25 bis 30%. Hat Marie Curie also Frauenförderung 'avant la lettre' betrieben?" (Textauszug)
Inhalt: "During the last twenty years gender studies of science have shown that science in its social aspects is marked by gender-based exclusions. Regarding the laboratory built up and directed by Marie Curie between 1906 and 1934, it is astonishing to find a remarkable number of mainly foreign female scientists. The author outlines how Curie used the university system to expand her staff and discusses her possibilities to promote women against the background of the educational system in France. Curie's staffing policy is related to her experiences during her scientific education, her teaching at the 'Ecole normale de jeunes filles' in Sèvres, her marriage to Pierre Curie and her relation to her daughter Irène Curie."

Gender and achievement-related beliefs among engineering students

Details
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)

Hispanic students majoring in science or engineering : what happened in their educational journeys?
Autor/in:
Wightman Brown, Susan
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 8 (2002) No. 2, S. 123-148
Details
Inhalt: "National statistics clearly demonstrate an under representation of minorities and women in the fields of science and engineering. Using Seidman's in-depth interviewing method, 22 Hispanic students, 12 female and 10 male, who were majoring in science or engineering were interviewed. These students were observed in their college science or engineering classes, their high school and college transcripts were analyzed, and they participated in a focus group. What made a difference in the educational journeys of these 22 students so that they could succeed - majors that have historically discouraged female and minority students? Seven themes emerged: family support, an honors program, a challenging and interactive curriculum, college preparation in high school courses, caring and kind teachers, small class sizes, and small communities. Educators must take note of these themes, which made a lasting difference in the students' futures, enabling them to choose science or engineering as their fields of study." (author's abstract)

Science career interests among high school girls one year after participation in a summer science program

Inhalt: "A residential summer program, the New Experiences far Women in Science and Technology (Newton) Academy, was developed to encourage high school girls' interest in the physical sciences and engineering. The goal of the Newton Academy was to increase and/or maintain interest and participation in the physical sciences among high schoolgirls. This study, part of a larger evaluation of the academy, reports the results of a follow-up of the 1998 Newton Academy participants 1 year after participation. It focuses on the participants' interests in the physical sciences and related careers as measured by the Strong Interest Inventory before and 1 year after participation. The results a/participant interviews conducted to further illuminate the findings from the quantitative data are also presented." (author's abstract)

Moving women from school to work in science : curriculum demands, adult identities and life transitions
Autor/in:
Eisenhart, Margaret
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 7 (2001) No. 3, S. 199-213
Details
Inhalt: "This article proposes that the organization of some college curriculum programs as
well as some workplaces presents special and perhaps unnecessary obstacles to women
who might pursue science or engineering. The article begins with a framework for thinking
about connections between school and work in various fields. This section reveals
important differences in the way college degree programs are organized and in their
implications for the transition to work. Some programs, such as in physics, construct
a 'tight' link between school and work; others, such as in sociology, construct much
looser links. The article proceeds by reviewing results of previous ethnographic research
about women's actual experiences in college and work. This section suggests that during
the period of transition from college to work, women face special cultural demands
that interfere with their pursuit of degrees in tight programs. Joining the lessons
from the two preceding sections, the argument is made that the tight organization
of some college and workplace environments asks more of women than they can give and
helps explain why women continue to be under represented in some fields. The argument
has testable implications for the design of curricularprograms and workplace environments
that might attract more women (and perhaps more minorities and men) to science and
engineering." (author's abstract)|

Barriers and constraints : women physicists' perceptions of career progress
Autor/in:
Hodgson, Barbara; Scanlon, Eileen; Whitelegg, Elizabeth
Quelle: Physics education, Vol. 35 (2000) No. 6, S. 454-459
Details
Inhalt: "Researchers in the area of women in science are trying to understand how the participation of women in science can be increased and also what prevents women from developing scientific careers. Past influential work supports the importance of taking the perspective of women's education and career paths as a whole, emphasizing the importance of structural and social factors in career progress. This paper reports some outcomes from an interview study with women PhD physicists working in a variety of science-related careers. Our aim is to explore and document the career experience of women scientists and to identify barriers and constraints to women's participation in science careers and to investigate ways in which educational experiences contribute to career progress."
