摘要

美国联邦政策敦促高中扩大职业技术教育(CTE)课程的范围，以解决科学、技术、工程、数学和医学(stem)领域持续存在的性别不平等问题。不幸的是，在工程和健康科学CTE招生的性别构成是高度不平衡的，反映了高等教育和劳动力市场的趋势。使用2009年高中纵向研究的数据，我们使用分解技术来检查学生，家庭和学校因素解释了stem为重点的CTE课程中性别失衡的入学率。结果表明，学生的职业期望是造成内容领域性别差异的最大因素。

Explaining Course Enrollment Gaps in High School: Examination of Gender-Imbalance in the Applied Sciences

Federal policy in the United States has urged high schools to expand offerings in career and technical education (CTE) coursework to address persistent gender inequities in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical (STEMM) fields. Unfortunately, gender composition in engineering and health sciences CTE enrollment is highly imbalanced and reflects postsecondary and labor market trends. Using data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, we use decomposition techniques to examine which student, family, and school factors explain gender-imbalanced enrollment in STEMM-focused CTE courses. The results indicate student occupational expectations were the largest contributor to gender gaps across content areas.

期刊介绍： Educational Policy provides an interdisciplinary forum for improving education in primary and secondary schools, as well as in high education and non school settings. Educational Policy blends the best of educational research with the world of practice, making it valuable resource for educators, policy makers, administrators, researchers, teachers, and graduate students. Educational Policy is concerned with the practical consequences of policy decisions and alternatives. It examines the relationship between educational policy and educational practice, and sheds new light on important debates and controversies within the field. You"ll find that Educational Policy is an insightful compilation of ideas, strategies, and analyses for improving our educational systems.
