Gender Studies of Science and Science Education in Singapore
Tang Wee Teo,Leck Wee Yeo 숙명여자대학교 아시아여성연구원 2017 Asian Women Vol.33 No.3
Singapore, in recent years, has seen increased efforts by individuals, social organizations, institutions, and private companies advocating for more women in science. However, as compared to many other places, such as the U.S. and Europe, gender studies of science and science education in Singapore are limited. Further, such studies are underrepresented in the local science and science education literature. In this paper, we review gender studies of science and science education in Singapore to show the status of this literature. We analyze the papers for the following: a) studies that examine gender as the main or auxiliary construct, b) the period of publication, c) topics in gender studies, d) the philosophical approach of the studies, e) research methods, and f) the type of participants. Our analysis of 39 empirical journal papers show the highest number of publications during the period 2011–2015. Gender is examined as an auxiliary construct in most papers. Most of the studies embody postpositivist worldviews, where the use of quantitative research methods to compare cognitive and affective differences between the two genders are common. The most frequently targeted group of research participants are students aged 13–16 (Grades 7–10). Based on this review, we suggest future research agendas for researchers, local and international, who may be interested to push for more studies in this field through local and/or international studies.
