论文摘要
使用基于证据的方法促进公平和包容的努力对于纠正长期存在的社会不平等现象至关重要，这些社会不利的妇女处于不利地位，并使她们不愿意追求学习，包括许多STEM学科。我们使用了一所大型公立大学的10年的机构数据来调查宣布为专业然后完成学位的男性和女性不同STEM学科的平均平均趋势，或者在宣布该学位后删除了专业。我们发现令人震惊的趋势，例如，平均降低专业的女性的成绩比男性高，而在某些STEM专业中，丢下专业的女性的成绩与在这些大满贯赛中坚持不懈的男性相当。尽管这些定量发现需要更深入地了解男女降低专业的原因，但我们为使学习环境更加公平和包容的方法提供了建议，以便传统上排除的定型群体可以具有更高的归属感和繁荣感。
Efforts to promote equity and inclusion using evidence-based approaches are vital to correcting long-standing societal inequities that have disadvantaged women and discouraged them from pursuing studies, including in many STEM disciplines. We used 10 years of institutional data from a large public university to investigate the grade point average trends in different STEM disciplines for men and women who declared a major and then either completed the degree or dropped the major after declaring it. We found alarming trends, such as that women who dropped majors on average earned higher grades than men, and in some STEM majors, women who dropped the majors were earning comparable grades to men who persisted in those majors. While these quantitative findings call for a deeper understanding of the reasons women and men drop a major, we provide suggestions for approaches to make learning environments more equitable and inclusive so that traditionally excluded stereotyped groups can have a higher sense of belonging and thrive.
