为什么物理学领域的女性如此之少?对两位女性经历的反思

Why Are There So Few Women in Physics? Reflections on the Experiences of Two Women

Danny Doucette, Chandralekha Singh

AI总结:

本文通过两位女本科生的经历,分析女性在物理学中代表性不足的自我效能、孤立、性别冷落与刻板印象威胁等原因,并提出课程支持建议。

摘要:

女性在物理学中代表性不足的一些原因,在两位女本科生的反思中清晰可见。Leia是一名化学专业学生,热爱大学水平的物理化学和量子力学,但并不认同物理学这一学科,部分原因在于她作为物理学家的自我效能感较低,而且她在物理学方面的工作和学习几乎没有获得认可。Paulette是一名物理学专业学生,她热爱物理学,却感到被当前的物理学习环境孤立。在被男同学冷落、他们彼此结伴而让她独自完成实验之后,她不情愿地退出了荣誉入门实验课。Paulette与态度居高临下的男教授相处的经历,触发了关于“谁能在物理学中取得成功”的刻板印象威胁,导致她在课堂上不再投入。我们还讨论了这两位女性认为迄今为止对她们有所帮助的因素,并探讨了她们提出的建议:在女性攻读物理科学学位的过程中,哪些做法能够帮助修读物理学课程的女性。

英文摘要:

Some of the reasons for the underrepresentation of women in physics are evident in the reflections of two undergraduate women. Leia is a chemistry major who loves college-level physical chemistry and quantum mechanics but does not identify with the discipline of physics, partly because she has a low level of self-efficacy as a physicist and has received very little recognition for her work and learning in physics. Paulette is a physics major who loves physics but feels isolated by the current physics learning environment. She reluctantly dropped honors introductory lab after being snubbed by her male classmates who partnered with one another, leaving her to work alone. Paulette's experiences with condescending male professors activated a stereotype threat about who can succeed in physics that caused her to disengage in class. We also discuss what these women felt has helped them so far and explore their suggestions for what would help women in physics courses as they pursue their quest for a physical science degree.
