摘要

目的 支持社区大学转学生是扩大 STEM 参与度的一项重要战略。除了是一个种族多元化的群体外,通过社区大学攻读 STEM 学位的学生还经常对研究生学习和学术职业感兴趣。因此,支持和扩大转校生的博士兴趣有助于实现 STEM 教授队伍的多元化。本研究旨在确定从社区学院转入计算机科学专业的学生对博士感兴趣的预测经历。设计/方法/途径根据 150 多名社区学院转学生在接受的四年制大学第一年的纵向调查数据,我们使用回归分析法确定了预测早期对博士感兴趣的转学后经历。与其他变量的关系表明,与参加实习的学生相比,参加本科研究经历的学生更有可能获得有关研究生院的信息。这篇论文为我们提供了新的视角,让我们了解科学、技术、工程和数学系该如何开展有针对性的工作,以确保所有转学生都能公平地获得有关博士生培养的信息。努力确保教师公平地与学生沟通博士生的机会,可能会大大有助于消除可能对此类途径感兴趣的转学生的潜在障碍。

Tapping into early PhD aspirations to advance gender equity in computing: predicting PhD interest among upward transfer students

Purpose

Supporting community college transfer students represents a critical strategy for broadening participation in STEM. In addition to being a racially diverse group, students who pursue STEM degrees by way of community college report frequent interests in graduate study and academic careers. Thus, supporting and expanding transfer students’ PhD interests can help to diversify the STEM professoriate. This study aims to identify the experiences that predict PhD interests among students who transferred into the computer science major from a community college.

Design/methodology/approach

Relying on longitudinal survey data from over 150 community college transfer students throughout their first year at their receiving four-year university, we used regression analysis to identify the post-transfer college experiences that predict early interest in PhDs.

Findings

We found that receiving information about PhDs from a professor strongly predicted PhD interest among transfer students. Relationships with other variables indicate that the provision of information about graduate school was more likely to occur for students who participated in undergraduate research experiences than for those participating in internships. Descriptive data document inequities in who has access to these types of experiences.

Originality/value

This paper provides new insight into how STEM departments can develop targeted efforts to ensure that information about PhD training is equitably available to all transfer students. Working to ensure that faculty equitably communicate with students about PhD opportunities may go a long way in countering potential deterrents among transfer students who may be interested in such pathways.
