摘要

女性在科学、技术、工程和数学领域的代表性仍然不足,在高中和中学后教育之间,科学、技术、工程和数学管道出现了严重的流失。过去的研究表明,为女高中生提供解决问题、亲社会行为和实现真实社区目标的机会,可以改善她们对 STEM 的看法,提高 STEM 职业的吸引力。在以往研究的基础上,我们对 Scientella 进行了调查,这是一个由学生运营的美国组织,为女高中生提供校外咨询项目、导师和网络研讨会。根据 Scientella 联合创始人的直接经验,并通过分析项目调查数据,我们探讨了 Scientella 如何提供这些机会、学生从中获得的益处以及该组织面临的挑战。调查数据显示,参与山达基拉的活动为学生提供了与 STEM 职业探索和反陈规 STEM 技能发展相关的益处,包括职业发现、行业参与和实践经验,以及协作、沟通和社会研究技能的发展。山达基拉学生领袖被美国名校的 STEM 专业录取,表明山达基拉的方法大有可为,为学生提供参与以 STEM 为主题的职业探索和领导力发展的机会,可以成为提高女性 STEM 参与中学后教育和追求后续职业机会的有效战略。

Empowering Female High School Students for STEM Futures: Career Exploration and Leadership Development at Scientella
Women remain underrepresented in STEM fields, with a major STEM pipeline leakage occurring between high school and post-secondary education. Past research suggests that providing female high school students with opportunities for problem-solving, prosocial behaviors and working towards authentic communal goals can improve their perceptions of STEM and the attractiveness of STEM careers. Building on this prior research, we investigate Scientella, a US-based, student-run organization that provides out-of-school consulting projects, mentorships and webinars to female high school students. Drawing on the direct experiences of Scientella’s co-founders and analyzing program survey data, we explore how Scientella provides these opportunities, the benefits realized by students, and the challenges faced by the organization. Survey data show that involvement in Scientella’s activities provides students with benefits related to STEM career exploration and counter-stereotypical STEM skill development, including career discovery, industry engagement and practical experience, and the development of collaboration, communication and social research skills. The admissions of Scientella student leaders to STEM majors in selective US colleges indicates the promise of Scientella’s approach, and that providing students with opportunities to engage in STEM-themed career exploration and leadership development could be an effective strategy to increase female STEM participation in post-secondary education and the pursuit of subsequent career opportunities.
