本科生暑期实地学习是一种宝贵的经历,可以增强或降低学生的自我效能感,这是学生在地球科学领域成功和保留的重要因素。越来越多的研究结果表明,科学领域的经历可能对具有边缘身份的学生充满敌意和不受欢迎,这可能会对他们在地球科学领域的自我效能产生负面影响,这一学科缺乏来自代表性不足的边缘身份的学生。我们进行了一项解释性质的研究,研究夏季地球科学实地项目如何影响两名被边缘化的本科生的自我效能感。除了现有的自我效能的理论解释,我们确定了三种类型的自我效能受到地球科学领域经验的积极和消极影响:学术、身体和社会自我效能。我们对影响学生自我效能感“起起落落”的具体实地经历进行了细致入微的理解,并最终影响了他们继续从事地球科学教育或职业的意愿。尽管有一些负面的经历,包括性别歧视、粗俗的性笑话和缺乏归属感,但学生们描述了他们坚持地球科学的意图。我们的研究结果可以帮助地球科学教育工作者(以及其他基于领域的科学工作者)考虑支持和阻碍边缘化学生自我效能感的经历。此外,我们的研究结果可以指导改善地球科学实地项目,以创造更具包容性的环境。
Undergraduate summer field programs are valuable experiences that can foster or reduce students’ self-efficacy, an important factor in students’ success and retention in geoscience. Growing research findings show that science field experiences can be hostile and unwelcoming to students with marginalized identities, which may negatively impact their self-efficacy in geoscience, a discipline with a dearth of students from underrepresented, marginalized identities. We conducted an interpretive qualitative study examining how summer geoscience field programs affected two undergraduate, marginalized students’ self-efficacy. Adding to existing theoretical explanations of self-efficacy, we identified three types of self-efficacy impacted positively and negatively by geoscience field experiences: academic, physical, and social self-efficacy. We developed a nuanced understanding of the specific field experiences that influenced the ‘ups and downs’ of students’ self-efficacy and, ultimately, their intent in continuing to pursue a geoscience education or career. Despite negative experiences, including gender discrimination, crude sexual jokes, and a lack of belonging, the students described their intent to persist in geoscience. Our findings can assist geoscience educators (and others in field-based sciences) to consider experiences that support and hinder marginalized students’ self-efficacy. Also, our findings can guide efforts to improve geoscience field programs to create more inclusive environments.
