Gender Equity in Science Classrooms Has Been Achieved: Or Has It? Jaclyn McDonald Evaluating Research in Science Education SCE 5305 Fall 2004

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine if the attitudes young children have about science are shaped by interactions with and perceptions of society, teachers, and other children.

News of Gender Equity  Woes of the educated woman of the 1800s  Gender equity has been achieved, hasn’t it?

“Draw a Scientist” Asked to draw a scientist, both genders typically draw a male. Additionally, the scientist will be white, wear a lab coat, eyeglasses and have facial hair (Jones, Howe, & Rua, 2000)

Interaction and Perceptions of Society  Viewpoints of parents impact the early experiences children receive with science.  A connection was made between a more positive attitude toward science and girls who share science experiences with a close family member, such as a parent or grandparent.

Impact of Teachers Unintentional bias exists in classrooms, as teachers do not “see” the inequity. Gender bias is not adequately addressed in teacher preparation classes

Impact of Students  Cross-gender grouping  Single-gender groups

Further Research is Necessary! Gender inequities in science begin at an early age. This study will be co-authored with Sherri Durant to determine whether gender inequity or gender equality exists within the science classrooms at our school.
