有色人种女性在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科中的代表性不足仍然是科学未来面临的一个紧迫问题。在科学相关领域缺乏代表性的不同群体的个人一直是国家倡议的目标,提供资金和支持代表性不足的群体,但在了解学生的经验如何引导他们走向或远离科学作为职业选择方面取得的进展甚微。为了更好地理解这一关键问题,本研究探讨了16名在STEM领域主修有色人种的女性的经历。使用所有四个维度的吉的身份理论作为一个框架,本研究代表了一种努力,以了解女性的颜色是如何能够加强他们的科学身份在他们的大学和大学预科的经验。通过使用深入访谈,所有四个维度的身份的元素被捕获和分析。对这些数据的分析提供了一个机会,可以更深入地了解身份发展对鼓励这一学生群体坚持科学的作用。
Underrepresentation of women of color in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines continues to remain a pressing issue facing the future of science. The lack of representation of diverse groups of individuals in science related fields has been the target of national initiatives that offer both funding and support to underrepresented groups, yet little progress has been made toward understanding how student’s experiences lead them toward or away from science as a career choice. Addressing the call to provide a better understanding of this critical problem, this study explores the experiences of sixteen women of color majoring in one of STEM fields. Using all four dimensions of Gee’s identity theory as a framework, this study represents an effort to understand how women of color are able to strengthen their science identities during their college and pre-college experiences. Through the use of in depth interviews, elements of all four dimensions of identity were captured and analyzed. The analysis of this data provided the opportunity to gain a greater perspective into the role that identity development has for encouraging persistence in science for this population of students.
