Women in Science, Resource Guide.
Michigan Univ., Ann Arbor. School of Dentistry.; Agency for Instructional Technology, Bloomington, IN.
Many young women must contend with social and psychological barriers that prevent them from pursuing careers in science and mathematics. Because of lack of confidence, misconceptions, lack of preparation, and discrimination, many women self-select themselves out of as many as 75 per cent of all careers before they reach college age. This series was designed to inform and encourage women about careers in mathematics and science related careers. This guide provides resources related to the seven 30-minute and one 40-minute video programs in the series. Each episode includes: a program summary, introductory discussion questions, brief facts and statistics, a brief biography of a significant role model in the specific area of the episode, an interest assessment form, discussion questions to follow the program, descriptions of supplemental activities, lists of supplementary materials for students, and lists of resources for users and viewers. Program topics include: (1) biomedicine; (2) chemistry; (3) computer science; (4) dentistry; (5) engineering; (6) geosciences; (7) physicsand astronomy; and (8) scientific careers for women. (CW)
