Science-Relatedness and Gender-Appropriateness of Careers: Some Pupil Perceptions.
Taber, Keith S.
Research in Science and Technological Education, v10 n1 p105-15 1992
Presents findings that young secondary students have stereotyped ideas about the appropriateness of certain careers for men and women. Indicates that careers such as pilot, engine mechanic, electrician, and computer technician are viewed by all students as more suitable for males. Considers the consequences of these results relative to the underrepresentation of women in science. (35 references) (Author/JJK)
