两位女本科生的反思表明,女性在物理学领域代表性不足的一些原因显而易见。莱娅是一名化学专业的学生,她喜欢大学水平的物理化学和量子力学,但并不认同物理学这门学科,部分原因是她作为物理学家的自我效能水平很低,而且她在物理学方面的工作和学习很少得到认可。波莱特是一名物理专业的学生,她热爱物理,但却被目前的物理学习环境所孤立。她不情愿地放弃了荣誉入门实验,因为她受到了男同学的冷落,他们彼此合作,让她一个人工作。波莱特与居高临下的男教授打交道的经历,激发了她对谁能在物理学上取得成功的刻板印象,导致她在课堂上脱离课堂。我们还讨论了到目前为止,这些女性认为是什么帮助了她们,并探讨了她们对在物理课程中帮助女性攻读物理科学学位的建议。
Some of the reasons for the underrepresentation of women in physics are evident in the reflections of two undergraduate women. Leia is a chemistry major who loves college-level physical chemistry and quantum mechanics but does not identify with the discipline of physics, partly because she has a low level of self-efficacy as a physicist and has received very little recognition for her work and learning in physics. Paulette is a physics major who loves physics but feels isolated by the current physics learning environment. She reluctantly dropped honors introductory lab after being snubbed by her male classmates who partnered with one another, leaving her to work alone. Paulette's experiences with condescending male professors activated a stereotype threat about who can succeed in physics that caused her to disengage in class. We also discuss what these women felt has helped them so far and explore their suggestions for what would help women in physics courses as they pursue their quest for a physical science degree.
