Although this country has a stake in educating its citizens well,
for much of our history, we have not known in any scientific way
what helps and what hinders the academic success of girls and
minority group members. This book gives voice to four psychologists
(Schofield, Slaughter-Defoe, Eccles, and Betz) who use scientific
inquiry to understand what helps and what hinders the academic and
life performance of minority students and girls. These are
scientists who approach their subject matter with technical skill
and personal passion to ask such questions as: What has
desegregation accomplished? Can beneficial parent-child
interactions be facilitated so as to improve school-related
performance? Why are we seeing such low levels of achievement for
girls and minorities in math and science? What stops women and
minorities from choosing and completing majors in science and
engineering? Each chapter represents an effort to communicate a
vital area of scientific investigation to those in political life
who could use that knowledge to formulate effective public policy.
Near the end of each chapter are the questions that each of the
authors was asked following the original briefing. These
interchanges will show how policy makers begin to think about the
use of scientific information in a political context.
