论文摘要
在两名本科妇女的反思中，在物理学中代表性不足的某些原因很明显。莱亚（Leia）是一位化学专业的专业，他热爱大学水平的物理化学和量子力学，但没有认同物理学的学科，部分原因是她作为物理学家的自我效能水平较低，并且对自己的物理学工作和学习的认可很少。 Paulette是一位物理专业的专业，他热爱物理学，但由于当前的物理学习环境而感到孤立。在被彼此合作的男同学冷落之后，她勉强放弃了荣誉介绍性实验室，让她独自工作。保莱特（Paulette）在男性居高临下的经历激发了一个刻板印象的威胁，该威胁是谁能成功地在物理学上成功，从而导致她在课堂上脱离接触。我们还讨论了这些妇女到目前为止对她们的帮助，并探讨了她们在追求物理科学学位时帮助妇女参加物理课程的建议。
Some of the reasons for the underrepresentation of women in physics are evident in the reflections of two undergraduate women. Leia is a chemistry major who loves college-level physical chemistry and quantum mechanics but does not identify with the discipline of physics, partly because she has a low level of self-efficacy as a physicist and has received very little recognition for her work and learning in physics. Paulette is a physics major who loves physics but feels isolated by the current physics learning environment. She reluctantly dropped honors introductory lab after being snubbed by her male classmates who partnered with one another, leaving her to work alone. Paulette's experiences with condescending male professors activated a stereotype threat about who can succeed in physics that caused her to disengage in class. We also discuss what these women felt has helped them so far and explore their suggestions for what would help women in physics courses as they pursue their quest for a physical science degree.
