Abstract | This report contains the evaluation and assessment of the impact of six experimental projects funded by the National Science Foundation in 1974 and 1975 to increase the number of women pursuing science-related careers. The projects are assessed both individually and as a whole. The projects were conducted at the following institutions: University of Kansas; Policy Studies in Education; Queensborough College; University of Missouri at Kansas City; Rosemont College; and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chapter 1 describes the evaluation methodology, including assessment of project documents, site visits, and a participant impact survey. Chapter 2 contains a synopsis of each of the projects, and Chapter 3 contains the interim program recommendations. Chapter 4 discusses the psychological, sociological, and institutional barriers to the participation of women in science-related careers. Possible interventions or treatments that might be used are proposed and categorized by educational level. The appendices contain samples of the evaluation collection sheet used, and the participant impact survey. Also included are a bibliography of selected programs similar to the NSF projects, a film bibliography, and a selected annotated bibliography of the literature. (Author/MH) |
