Searching for the Peach Blossom Shangri-La: Student Engagement of Men and Women SMET Majors
Zhao, Chun-Mei; Carini, Robert M.; Kuh, George D.
Review of Higher Education, v28 n4 p503-525 Sum 2005
This study examined the extent to which women and men majoring in science, math, engineering, and technology (SMET) fields engaged in a broad array of effective educational practices. Women in SMET fields were generally as, or more, engaged in educationally fruitful activities as their male counterparts. The results of this study, when combined with other research, suggest that women may experience greater gender parity in math and science fields in college than in either high school or the post-college SMET workplace.
