摘要

对于从事 STEM 领域研究的女科学家来说,研究网络是不可避免的,因为在高等教 育中,研究是以团队形式进行的。由于社会关系,研究网络使她们有更多机会获得相关知识和同行的支持。本定性研究旨在探讨乌干达公立大学 STEM 领域女科学家在研究网络中的经历。研究对象包括乌干达公立大学 STEM 领域研究网络中的女科学家,其中包括马凯雷雷大学、姆巴拉拉科技大学、古卢大学和布西特马大学。就本研究而言,我的参与者是从乌干达公立大学的 STEM 领域中挑选出来的。根据贝歇尔和比格兰 1973 年的学科分类法,研究网络中的女科学家被选中从事纯理论和硬应用学科的研究。根据他们的学科分类,STEM 领域属于硬纯学科和硬应用学科。本研究以马丁-海德格尔的存在主义现象学为基础,采用解释性世界观。本研究采用了半结构式访谈和文件检查两种数据收集方法。受访样本包括乌干达公立大学 STEM 领域研究网络中的八名女科学家。对数据进行了主题分析,将其归类为不同的主题,并将新出现的次主题发展成主题。本研究得出结论,研究网络中的女科学家有积极的经历,如资金、网络、研究技能、职业发展、会议、指导,也有消极的经历,如日程繁忙和资金延迟。研究结果表明,在研究网络中的积极经历使她们能够成功赢得研究基金、项目和博士后奖学金。这些女科学家认为,她们在大学中进行的机构间、国家、地区和国际互动和参与为她们带来了极好的机会。这是因为她们接触到了本学科的一流科学家。因此,本研究建议乌干达公立大学管理层建立正式的研究网络,并加强现有的非正式研究网络。

Experiences of Female Scientists in Research Networks in STEM fields in Public Universities in Uganda
Research networks are inevitable for female scientists in STEM fields, where research is carried out in teams in higher education. They promote privileged access to relevant knowledge and support from peers due to social connections. This qualitative study set out to explore the experiences of female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. The study's population encompassed female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda that included Makerere University, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Gulu University and Busitema University. In respect to this study, my participants were selected in the STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. Female scientists in research networks were selected in the hard pure and hard applied disciplines as classified by Becher and Biglan's typology of academic disciplines of 1973. From their classification of academic disciplines, the STEM fields belong to the hard pure and hard applied disciplines. This study was anchored on the existential phenomenology by Martin Heidegger in the interpretive worldview. Both semi-structured interviews and document check data collection methods were used in this study. A sample size comprising of eight female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda were interviewed. Data were thematically analysed where clustering into catergories and emerging sub-themes were developed to form themes. This study concludes that those female scientists in research networks had positive experiences such as funding, networking, research skills, career growth, conferences, mentoring, and negative experiences like hectic schedules and delayed funding. The findings that emerged from the study indicated positive experiences with the research networks, which enabled them to win research grants, projects, and postdoctoral fellowships successfully. Those female scientists believed that their inter-institutional, national, regional, and international interactions and engagements spurred excellent opportunities for them in their universities. This was because they were exposed to top-notch scientists in their disciplines. This study, therefore, recommends to the management of public universities in Uganda to establish formal research networks and strengthen the existing informal research networks
