Hispanic students majoring in science or engineering : what happened in their educational journeys?

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)

Moving women from school to work in science : curriculum demands, adult identities and life transitions

Eisenhart, Margaret

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."
