The Low Representation of Women in STEM fields 3  sekang's
picture  The Low Representation of Women in the STEM Fields
Initially, I planned to focus my web event #3 to answer the
questions presented at the end of the web event #2. The
questions are “what should the society do to encourage more
women in the STEM fields? More specifically, what can I do to
encourage fellow women to pursue further education in the STEM
fields?” However, professor Dalke had suggested taking the prior
step to inventing my own methods. As recommended, I looked into
researches on the pedagogy and some of the pedagogical programs
that are currently in act. As I attempted to find various
programs on helping more women to pursue careers in the STEM
fields, I faced another problem. I still do not fully understand
the causes of the low representation of women in the STEM fields
other than those presented in the first web event. In the web
event #1, I presented two causes that lead to the small number
of women in math and science fields.
