Inhalt: "The purpose of this study was to explore the personal stories of women who selected
and continue to excel at careers in areas of mathematics, science, and technology
to better understand the ways in which their self-efficacy beliefs influenced their
academic and career choices. Analysis of 15 narratives revealed that verbal persuasions
and vicarious experiences were critical sources of the women's self-efficacy beliefs.
These findings suggest that the perceived importance of these sources of self-efficacy
believes may be stronger for women in male-oriented domains than for individuals operating
in traditional settings. Academic and relational self efficacy perceptions resulted
in the perseverance and resiliency required to overcome academic and career obstacles.
Findings support and refine the theoretical tenets of A. Bandura's (1986) social cognitive
theory, and they also suggest that critical tenets in this theory are consistent with
the work of C. Gilligan (1982) and N. Noddings (1992)." (author's abstract)|

Inhalt: "The article lists the women Nobel Prize laureates and questions why, with the exception
of Marie Curie, all these women scientists are not well known by the public; explains
why so few women have won the Nobel Prize in science and medicine as compared to other
fields." (author's abstract)|

Career issues and laboratory climates : different challenges and opportunities for women engineers and scientists

Inhalt: "A survey of fiscal year 1997 POWRE (Professional Opportunities for Women in Research
and Education) awardees from the National Science Foundation revealed that women engineers
and scientists face similar issues, challenges, and opportunities and think that the
laboratory climate has similar impacts on their careers. Separating responses of women
scientists from those of women engineers revealed that 70% of both groups listed balancing
work with family responsibilities as the most difficult issue. Discrepancies in percentages
of women, coupled with differences among disciplinary and subdisciplinary cultures
within science, engineering, mathematics, and technology fields, complicate work climates
and their impact on women's careers. More frequently than women scientists, women
engineers listed issues such as (a) low numbers of women leading to isolation, (b)
lack of camaraderie and mentoring, (c) gaining credibility/respect from peers and
administrators, (d) time management, (e) prioritizing responsibilities due to disproportionate
demands, and (f) learning the rules of the game to survive in a male-dominated environment.
Women engineers also listed two positive issues more frequently than women scientists:
active recruitment/more opportunities for women and impact of successful women in
the profession. The small number of women engineers may explain these results and
suggests that it may be inappropriate to group them with other women scientists for
analysis, programs, and policies." (author's abstract)|

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."

"Also in Mathe, da sind mir die Einser zugeflogen..." : zur Professionalisierung von Software-Entwicklerinnen aus psychohistorischer Sicht

Details
Inhalt: Die Autorin untersucht die Professionalisierung von Software-Entwicklerinnen im Kontext lebensgeschichtlicher Erfahrungen, die sie im Rahmen ihrer Studie von 1989/90 erhoben hatte. Ausgehend von den theoretischen Bezugspunkten Professionalisierung, Habitus und Geschlecht beleuchtet sie die psychologischen und sozialen Zusammenhänge im Lebensverlauf der befragten Software-Entwicklerinnen, welche für die spätere Professionalisierung förderlich oder hinderlich waren. Sie geht exemplarisch auf bestimmte Lebensformen in der Kindheit als Bedingung für das entstehende Technikinteresse, die Rolle der Schule für die Berufsentscheidung sowie den späteren Karriereverlauf ein. Die Befragungsergebnisse bestätigen ihre These, dass die Art und Weise der Auseinandersetzung mit den Widersprüchen zwischen technischer Profession und weiblichem Geschlecht wesentlich die Professionalisierung und Karriere von Software-Entwicklerinnen bestimmen.
