黑人和西班牙裔女性在计算机科学领域的代表性不足是一个长期存在的问题,无论是本科生还是研究生,这个问题在各个层面都显得黯淡。这促使学者们探索参与率低的原因。用于理解 STEM 领域的参与和坚持的一种框架是身份。计算机科学教育的先前研究表明,身份是在这些领域坚持不懈的有力指标。然而,如果不了解计算机科学家的本体论信念,就很难理解学生对身份的看法。在这项研究中,我们探索计算机科学家的本质。在社会身份理论的指导下,我们设计了一项研究,要求学生描述他们对计算机科学家的定义或本体论信念,与他们将计算机科学身份归因于自我的能力形成鲜明对比。利用定性方法,我们采访了 24 名计算机科学领域的女性(黑人和西班牙裔、本科生和研究生),以探索她们的本体论信念对其计算机科学身份显着性的影响。指导这项工作的研究问题是:(1)黑人和西班牙裔女性如何描述或定义计算机科学家? (2) 这个定义对黑人和西班牙裔女性主张计算身份的能力有什么影响?结果表明,定义的巨大差异对计算机科学身份显着性产生负面影响。这项工作的结果表明,计算应该考虑当前信息传递对计算机科学家构成的影响。
Underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic women in computer science is a long-standing problem that looks bleak at every level - undergraduate and graduate. This is prompting scholars to explore reasons for these low participation rates. One framework used to understand participation and persistence in STEM fields is identity. Prior work in computer science education suggest that identity is a strong indicator of persistence in these fields. However, it is hard to understand students' perception of identity without also understanding ontological beliefs with regards to a computer scientist. In this study, we explore the nature of a computer scientist. Guided by social identity theory, we designed a study that asked students to describe their definition or ontological belief of what constitutes a computer scientist in contrast to their ability to ascribe a computer science identity to self. Leveraging qualitative methods, we interviewedn = 24 women in computer science (Black and Hispanic, undergraduate and graduate students), in order to explore the role their ontological beliefs had on their computer science identity salience. The research questions guiding this work are: (1) How do Black and Hispanic women describe or define computer scientists? (2) What impact does this definition have on Black and Hispanic women's ability to claim a computing identity? Results suggest that the wide variation in definitions has a negative impact on computer science identity salience. The findings from this work suggest that computing should consider the impacts of the current messaging of what constitutes a computer scientist.
