; Study - findings | |||
* Female faculty teaching introductory courses in STEM has a strong effect on female students. They perform about 10% better compared to female students with male faculty in introductory courses. Male students perform about 5% worse. | |||
* Highest achieving 10% of female students are most impacted. | |||
* No effect on dropping out, mainly on grades and whether or not further degrees are pursued in the field. | |||
* No significant effect of female professors in humanities | |||
; Our comments | |||
* Jeder Jahrgang im 1. Jahr sollte 1-2 weibliche Professorinnen haben (von etwa 6 Lehrpersonen in dem Jahr) | |||
* jedoch sollen Professorinnen nicht nur Einführungsveranstaltungen halten (Menschen wollen ja auch ihr Interessengebiet lehren wollen) | |||
* Schwer zu realisiren an kleineren Unis mit weniger Lehrpersonal | |||
* Studie wurde an einem Militär college gemacht | |||
* 19% female professors teaching 23% of introductory science (21% female professors in humanities) | |||
