摘要: 在科学、技术、工程、数学领域,女性的代表性不足。孩子社会化的过程中,父母和教师对于孩子职业选择发挥着重要作用。首先,父母和教师都持有传统STEM性别刻板印象,他们对STEM性别刻板印象存在不同的表现。其次他们的性别刻板印象对于孩子选择STEM产生了影响,使得女生在自我概念、自我效能感、对STEM的兴趣和动机方面等下降。最后,提出将在家庭、学校两方面给予有效干预,比如提供榜样、加强父母和教师的支持等。从而使得STEM领域的发展更加平衡。
Abstract: Women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Parents and teachers play an important role in children’s career choices in the process of children’s socialization. First, both parents and teachers hold traditional STEM gender stereotypes, and they have different representations of STEM gender stereotypes. Second, their gender stereotypes had an impact on children’s choice of STEM, resulting in a decline in girls’ self-concept, self-efficacy, interest in STEM, and motivation. Finally, it is proposed that effective interventions will be provided at both home and school levels, such as providing role models and strengthening the support of parents and teachers. This makes the development of STEM fields more balanced.
