Taher, Saleh Sanaa – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2022
Education is the proven guarantor of gender equality and sustainable development. Empirical evidence from previous studies in European countries (Favara, 2012; Geerdink & Dekkers, 2011; OECD, 2009) shows that women are incompletely represented in many areas of technical and scientific education. This study examined the impact of gender…

Kim, Sori – Music Education Research, 2023

Andersen, Ida Gran – British Educational Research Journal, 2023
Gender stereotypes in the natural sciences may discourage girls from pursuing STEM fields, thus contributing to the differential STEM pathways of males and females. This paper exploits quasi-experimental data from a vignette study to investigate teachers' gender bias in STEM at the transition to upper secondary school in Denmark--a key stage in…

Galano, Silvia; Liccardo, Antonella; Amodeo, Anna Lisa; Crispino, Marianna; Tarallo, Oreste; Testa, Italo – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We investigated how the endorsement of gender stereotypes affects disciplinary identity across three different science-technology-engineering-mathematics (STEM) areas: physics, biology, and chemistry, and whether such relationship is mediated by self-concept constructs, such as self-efficacy and perceived academic control. Building on the…

Master, Allison; Meltzoff, Andrew N.; Cheryan, Sapna – Grantee Submission, 2021
Societal stereotypes depict girls as less interested than boys in computer science and engineering. We demonstrate the existence of these stereotypes among children and adolescents from first to 12th grade and their potential negative consequences for girls' subsequent participation in these fields. Studies 1 and 2 (n = 2,277; one preregistered)…

In…
