尽管中学后教育的总体公平性和STEM领域的总体公平性有所改善,但中学后计算机领域的性别差距仍然存在。这个问题的深入需要一个全面的、纵向的透镜。本研究以期望价值理论为基础,探讨学生的性别能力刻板印象、成就价值观、课程选择与专业选择之间的关系。使用2009年高中纵向研究(HSLS:2009)的数据,我们应用加权t检验和多组结构方程模型来研究动机信念(即,性别-能力定型观念、成就价值观)以及数学和科学课程的学习模式可以预测计算机专业的选择。总体而言,我们发现性别差异在基于身份的数学和科学动机信念有长期的影响。数学和科学中的性别能力定型观念塑造了每个领域的成就价值观,从而定型观念抑制了女孩的成就价值观,提高了男孩的成就价值观?成就价值(p< 0.001),反过来又影响课程选择和重大决策。与数学和科学相关的动机和课程因素对“其他”STEM的影响比计算主要成果更大。具体而言,男生修完计算机科学课程的人数较多(d = 0.21),但女生在高中修完这些课程后,申报计算机专业的机会特别大。高级科学课程的学习和科学素养价值积极预测男孩而不是女孩宣布计算机专业的可能性。我们讨论了这些研究结果对研究,政策和实践的影响。
Gender disparities persist in postsecondary computing fields, despite improvements in postsecondary equity overall and STEM fields as an aggregate. The entrenchment of this issue requires a comprehensive, longitudinal lens. Building on expectancy-value theory, the present study examines the relationships among students’ gender-ability stereotypes, attainment values, course-taking, and major choices. Using data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS: 2009), we applied weighted t-tests and multiple-group structural equation modeling to investigate how motivational beliefs (i.e., gender-ability stereotypes, attainment values) and course-taking patterns in math and science may predict major choice in computing. Overall, we find gender differences in identity-based mathematics and science motivational beliefs have long-term effects. Gender-ability stereotypes in math and science shape attainment values in each domain, whereby stereotypes suppress girls’ attainment values and enhance boys? attainment values (p< 0.001), in turn shaping course-taking and major decisions. Math- and sciencerelated motivational and curricular factors affect “other” STEM more than computing major outcomes. Specifically, computer science course-taking is completed more by boys (d = 0.21), but girls’ chances of declaring computing majors are especially enhanced by completing these courses in high school. Advanced science course-taking and science attainment value positively predict boys’ but not girls’ likelihood of declaring computing majors. We discuss the implications of these findings for research, policy, and practice.
