\u201cWhat is unknown is not chosen.\u201dWith this simple and blunt phrase Angela Paloma Mart\u00edn, political adviser and expert in female leadership and gender communication, referred to the lack of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematicas) jobs during the presentation of the study. Want to find engineers, physicists and technologists Why aren’t there any more STEM women?<\/p>\n
The\u00a0report<\/a><\/strong> coordinated by\u00a0S\u00e1inz Miracles<\/a><\/strong>, director of the research group on gender and ICT at the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, tries to provide answers to many of the questions raised by seeing gender inequality in scientific professions.<\/p>\n Why do women stay on the road and not promote?<\/strong>\u00a0Why are there no more women in STEM fields? Why are they less interested in technology or pure science and more in biology or health sciences? S\u00e1inz, during the event held at Espacio Fundaci\u00f3n Telef\u00f3nica, explained that the study was conducted with high school students \u2014410\u2014, STEM graduates \u201411\u2014 and professionals in that field with a maximum of five years of professional career \u201421.<\/p>\n Interviews conducted at secondary schools highlighted that young people believe STEM professions are for highly intelligent people; they associate computer science and engineering with people who have personality or interpersonal difficulties, limited social skills and even poor hygiene\u2014in the case of computer scientists\u2014and view engineers as people with a very formal appearance. Appearances matter during adolescence, and the researcher stressed that \u201cif young people do not identify with this type of person, they will logically not choose this type of career.\u201d <\/p>\n S\u00e1inz also explained that during the study, \u201cit highlights the absence of female models, roles.\u201d The architects interviewed, for example, confessed that they had met the world figure\u00a0Zaha Hadid<\/a>\u00a0She was not mentioned in the course of the course. \u201cThere is an excessive invisibility of women\u2019s contributions in these areas,\u201d said S\u00e1inz.<\/p>\n \u00a0Angela Paloma Mart\u00edn<\/a>\u00a0is crucial\u00a0visibility.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201c In Africa, women living in camps say they want to be police. Why? Because where women work in Gambia professionally is in the police force What will they answer you if they see nothing else?\u201d He added: \u00a0\u201cIf from childhood pedagogy is not worked we have a basic error why women cannot access scientific careers.\u201d<\/p>\n The engineer\u00a0David Tom\u00e1s<\/a> co-founder of the digital marketing company Cyberclick, also highlighted the influence of the\u00a0education<\/strong>\u00a0and referred to a study \u2014\u00a0published in Science<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 stating that\u00a0girls are less bright than boys at age 6<\/strong>\u201cAt five years old, boys and girls \u00a0no answered that when asked the same thing, a year later they changed their minds and they believed themselves smarter and less. The change is caused by the environment \u2014 parents, teachers, the media \u2014 which sends a message that reaches children very deeply.\u201dThomas pointed out that this message, negative for girls, \u00a0\u201chas a very strong influence on their professional development. If you think at 6 or 7 years of age you are less brilliant than a child you will probably think that you are not so good at mathematics and it is very difficult for you to address the\u00a0STEM races<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n To change this picture, Angela Paloma Mart\u00edn argued for fleeing the complaint: \u201cIt is a mistake to protest the absence of women in the field of science with complaints and I also don\u2019t believe in the attack as a protest.\u201d The advisor said that \u201cthe problem must be solved based on education, social culture and political action.\u201d S\u00e1inz called for \u201cthe modification of the\u00a0stereotypes<\/strong>\u00a0in the educational, business and media fields.\u201d And also, so that STEM racing does not abandon the path, he asked \u201cless hostile environments<\/strong>\u00a0in the work teams, \u00a0places in the do not feel alone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cWhat is unknown is not chosen.\u201dWith this simple and blunt phrase Angela Paloma Mart\u00edn, political adviser and expert in female leadership and gender communication, referred to the lack of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematicas) jobs during the presentation of the study.
