New Routes to Recruiting and Retaining Women in STEM: Policy Implications of a Communal Goal Congruity Perspective (2015, background): “STEM interventions reflect this pattern, with some interventions resulting in nonsignificant effects (e.g., Haussler & Hoffmann, 2002; Jayaratne, Thomas, & Trautmann, 2003; Sharp, Carey, Frechtling, Burgdorf, & Westat Inc., 1994; Stake & Mares, 2001) or even in decreased interest among girls (e.g.,…”
Connecting High School Physics Experiences, Outcome Expectations, Physics Identity, and Physics Career Choice: A Gender Study. (2010, unknown): “In fact, Haussler and Hoffmann (2002) emphasize that educators and researchers recognize ‘‘ that separating girls and boys in physics classes is probably ineffective when not supported by a girl-friendly curriculum and a gender-fair teacher.”
STEM Motivation Interventions for Adolescents: A Promising Start, but Further to Go (2016, background): “For example, Haussler and Hoffmann (2002) tested whether German middle school students would respond positively to a new physics unit that supported topics in which they were interested.”
Adolescents' motivation to select an academic science-related career: the role of school factors, individual interest, and science self-concept (2013, background): “Girls, however, are more interested in biology than in chemistry or physics, and their interest in chemistry and physics is quite small (Buccheri, Abt Gürber, & Brühwiler, 2011; Häussler & Hoffmann, 2002; Jones et al., 2000).”
Who Aspires to a Science Career? A comparison of survey responses from primary and secondary school students (2015, background): “…and a variety of interventions have been trialled over the years attempting both to increase and to broaden participation rates in post-compulsory science (e.g. Calabrese Barton & Tan, 2010; Daly, Grant, & Bultitude, 2009; Darke, Clewell, & Sevo, 2002; Haussler & Hoffmann, 2002; Luehmann, 2009).”
Gender Biases in Early Number Exposure to Preschool-Aged Children (2011, background): “There are gender differences, however, in perceived competence, expectations, and interest in math, which have been shown to predict later achievement and occupational choices (Bandura, Barbaranelli, Vittorio Caprara, & Pastorelli, 2001; Dweck, 2007; Eccles, 2007; Häussler & Hoffmann, 2002).”
The Effect of Gender and Race Intersectionality on Student Learning Outcomes In Engineering (2015, background): “…constraints and impacts of social, cultural, environmental, political, and other contexts on engineering solutions) than men (Brotman & Moore, 2008; Haüssler & Hoffman, 2002; Kilgore, Atman, Yasuhara, Barker, & Morozov, 2007), this study found that there are no gender differences in students’…”
Motivation for learning science in kindergarten: Is there a gender gap and does integrated inquiry and literacy instruction make a difference (2009, background): “Häussler and Hoffmann (2002) found that both adapting the seventh grade physics curriculum to girls’ interests and training teachers to support girls’ motivation did not prevent a decline in girls’ (or boys’) interest in physics across the year, similar to those who received traditional physics inst”
Research on Interest in Science: Theories, methods, and findings (2011, background): “Programmes for strengthening girls’ scientific interests thus often aim at the self‐concept of girls and attempt to strengthen this with suitable tasks and feedback procedures (Haeussler & Hoffmann, 2002 ).”
Revisiting the Conceptualization, Measurement, and Generation of Interest (2011, background): “Those who also considered knowledge to be a component of interest, on the other hand, employed items that assess feelings, knowledge, and value (e.g., Haüssler & Hoffmann, 2002;2 Renninger et al., 2002).”
Greek Students’ Science‐related Interests and Experiences: Gender differences and correlations (2006, background): “Moreover, an increased emphasis on these themes might be especially beneficial for girls, while this should be the case for boys as well (Dawson, 2000 ; Hausler & Hoffmann, 2002 ; Sjoberg & Imsen, 1988 ).”
Factors Affecting Junior High School Students' Interest in Physics (2006, background): “As already stated by Haussler and Hoffman (2000), The misfit between the actual curriculum and students’ interest might be responsible to a great deal for the rather poor results of physics instruction.”
