Inhalt: "In wissenschaftlichen Positionen sind Frauen noch immer unterrepräsentiert. Große Hoffnung wird hier in Mentoringprogramme gesetzt. Dieser Beitrag vollzieht anhand eines Mentoringprogramms exemplarisch nach, welche Faktoren den Aufbau einer tragfähigen Mentoringbeziehung begünstigen. Dabei werden individuelle Voraussetzungen auf Seiten der Mentorinnen und Mentees, verschiedene Merkmale der Dyaden und die Bewertung der Mentorinnen im Hinblick auf ihre eigene Beratung analysiert. Die Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf die Konzeption neuer Mentoringprogramme und zukünftige Evaluationsforschung diskutiert." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "Women are still underrepresented in the scientific world. Hope is thus placed in formal mentoring programs. This article uses specific examples to depict which factors benefit the development of stable mentoring relationships. It analyzes the individual preconditions of mentors and mentees, several characteristics of the pairings, and the mentors' evaluations of their own advice. The results are discussed with respect to the conception of new mentoring programs and further research." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Using a survey of women science majors, we tested the assumption that women mentors and other women guides help women students pursue the sciences. The survey explicitly distinguished among three types of guides: mentors (who provide psychosocial support), sponsors (who provide instrumental support), and role models (who act as examples) encountered before and during college. We found that over 90% of the women had a guide of one type or another, that mentors were most influential to women's pursuit of science, and that guides during college were more influential than guides prior to college. Participants reported having more female than male guides overall, but that some of the most influential guides were men." (author's abstract)

Theater as a community-building strategy for women in engineering : theory and practice

Chesler, Naomi C.; Chesler, Mark A.
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 11 (2005) No. 1, S. 83-96
Inhalt: "Previously, the authors have suggested that peer mentoring through a caring community would improve the quality of life for female faculty members in engineering and could have a positive effect on retention and career advancement. Here, the authors present the background psychosocial literature for choosing participatory theater as a strategy to develop a caring community and report on a pilot study in which participatory theater activities were used within a workshop format for untenured female faculty members in engineering. The authors identify the key differences between participatory theater and other strategies for community building that may enhance participants' sense of commonality and the strength and utility of their community as a mentoring and support mechanism and discuss the ways in which these efforts could have a broader, longer term impact."

The benefits of mentoring for engineering students
Autor/in:
Wallace, Jean E.; Haines, Valerie A.
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 10 (2004) No. 4, S. 377-391
Inhalt: "The authors examined the benefits of mentoring for female and male engineering students and whether the benefits of mentoring differ depending on the sex of the mentor. Kram's framework of career development, psychosocial, and role-modeling functions was used to examine the benefits of mentoring for 1,069 engineering students. It was found that students with mentors were more socially integrated into their academic programs than students without mentors and that male mentors were more effective in this function than female mentors. Few students reported psychosocial benefits from being mentored, although female proteges reported more if they had female mentors. An unexpected finding for the role-modeling benefits was that mentored students reported less commitment to engineering careers than students without mentors. The authors close with a discussion of the implications of these findings and suggestions for future research in this area." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: Zunächst wird der gesellschaftspolitische Hintergrund von Mentoring-Programmen für Frauen erörtert. Anschließend werden das Konzept des Mentoring sowie verschiedene Formen von Mentoring-Programmen erläutert. Es folgt eine Präsentation einiger Ergebnisse einer Evaluation verschiedener Mentoring-Programme. Abschließend stellen die Autorinnen Kriterien auf, deren Berücksichtigung eine erfolgreiche Durchführung von Mentoring-Programmen ermöglichen soll. (ICE)
