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至关重要，这些社会不平等是处于不利地位的妇女，并阻止她们在许多STEM学科中攻读研究。我们在一所大型公立大学使用10年的机构数据来调查男女宣布，宣布宣布并获得学位的趋势，并获得了丢失或获得学位的学生的GPA。我们发现，学生人数最低的专业人数也具有最高的流失率。此外，我们发现GPA趋势令人震惊，例如，平均降低专业的女性比丢掉这些专业的男人的成绩高，而在某些STEM专业中，丢下专业的妇女的成绩与在这些专业中坚持不懈的男性获得了可比的成绩。这些定量发现要求更好地理解学生放弃专业的原因，并使学习环境公平和包容。
Efforts to promote equity and inclusion using evidence-based approaches are vital to correct long-standing societal inequities that have disadvantaged women and discouraged them from pursuing studies, e.g., in many STEM disciplines. We use 10 years of institutional data at a large public university to investigate trends in the majors that men and women declare, drop after declaring, and earn degrees in as well as the GPA of the students who drop or earn a degree. We find that the majors with the lowest number of students also have the highest rates of attrition. Moreover, we find alarming GPA trends, e.g., women who drop majors on average earn higher grades than men who drop those majors, and in some STEM majors, women who drop the majors were earning comparable grades to men who persist in those majors. These quantitative findings call for a better understanding of the reasons students drop a major and for making learning environments equitable and inclusive.
