STEM入门课程的性别差异模式

Patterns of Gendered Performance Difference in Introductory STEM Courses

Benjamin P. Koester, Galina Grom, Timothy A. McKay

摘要:

成绩为学生提供了主要的表现反馈:影响学业选择的信号。不同课程的评分方法不同,对选修这些课程的学生会有分数惩罚(和奖金)。这些等级惩罚有时是性别化的。利用密歇根大学的大量数据,我们报告了116门大型课程的成绩惩罚和性别表现差异的模式。我们发现,显着的性别表现差异是无处不在的大型入门STEM讲座课程。他们在STEM实验室和其他学科的讲座课程中基本上都缺席。探索这些课程的特点,我们假设,在STEM讲座课程中使用的评估方法与刻板印象的威胁,创造这些性别的性能差异。

英文摘要:

Grades provide students with their primary performance feedback: signals which affect academic choices. Variations in grading practice among courses impose grade penalties (and bonuses) on students who take them. These grade penalties are sometimes gendered. Using extensive data from the University of Michigan, we report on patterns of grade penalty and gendered performance difference across 116 large courses. We find that significant gendered performance differences are ubiquitous in large introductory STEM lecture courses. They are largely absent in both STEM labs and in lecture courses in other disciplines. Exploring the features of these courses, we hypothesize that evaluation methods used in STEM lecture courses interact with stereotype threat to create these gendered performance differences.
