A systematic review of gender identity representation in STEM higher education research

摘要

This systematic literature review explores how gender identity is represented and measured in STEM education research. This systematic review examined 79 articles and how they included or measured gender identity in their study of STEM in higher education. The findings reveal that over 70% of studies use only a binary measurement of gender, and only 5% had inclusive options. The paper reviews trends across these artifacts, including the use of theory. This paper demonstrates the need for a more inclusive and expansive measurement of gender identity in STEM higher education research. This paper examines inclusive approaches and calls for more context-responsive, gender-affirming practices in future STEM education research.
