概括
许多科学和工程教师向学生隐他们的LGBTQ+身份. 披露并没有损害人们的看法,而是增加了人际关系,这表明LGBTQ+纳入STEM教育的好处.
科学领域:
- 科学与工程教育科学与工程教育教育
- 高等教育教学的教学.
- 在STEM领域的包容性和多样性
背景情况:
- 在LGBTQ+ (女同性恋,男同性恋,双性恋,变性人,酷尔和其他人) 的本科生在科学和工程 (S&E) 领域的退学率高于他们的 cisgender 和异性恋同龄人.
- 学生认为,拥有LGBTQ+教师将有利于他们的学习和归属感在S&E.
- 我们对LGBTQ+教师在S&E的普及程度以及他们向学生披露身份的程度的了解有限.
研究的目的:
- 调查LGBTQ+身份披露在科学和工程教师中对本科生的普遍性.
- 了解LGBTQ+教师在本科教学环境中选择透露或隐藏其身份的原因.
- 检查LGBTQ+教师自我披露对学生对教师的看法的影响,包括LGBTQ+和非LGBTQ+学生.
主要方法:
- 我所进行的研究涉及对美国各地的108名LGBTQ+S&E教师进行了调查,以了解他们的披露实践和动机.
- 研究II随机分配了666名入门生物学本科生观看两个相同的教学视频之一,只在教师是否披露她的LGBTQ+身份上有所不同.
- 在研究II的两种条件下,评估了学生对教师的印象.
主要成果:
- 虽然75%的LGBTQ+教师向至少一些同事透露了他们的身份,但只有48%的教师向任何本科生透露了他们的身份.
- 从本科生隐LGBTQ+身份的常见原因包括对课程内容的无关感和对学生负面反应的预期.
- 在大多数学生对教师的评分中没有发现任何显著差异,除了当教师透露她的LGBTQ+身份时,报告的关系显著更高.
结论:
- 很大一部分LGBTQ + S&E教师向本科生隐他们的身份.
- 教师披露LGBTQ+身份不会对学生的看法产生负面影响,可以增强学生之间的关系.
- 研究结果表明,增加LGBTQ+教师的自我披露可能会在S&E领域培养一个更具包容性和支持性的学习环境.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
90.2K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Confirmation Biases
5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...
