BACKGROUND
The number of American students pursuing advanced science degree continues to wane. Summer research experience programs are ideal mechanisms to introduce high school and college students to scientific lifestyles.
METHODS
A follow-up of participants from 1995-2003 was conducted to gauge student perception of the program and to measure outcomes.
RESULTS
Data are presented from the responses of 287 (81%) participants. The Program was successful in recruiting female (67%) and underrepresented (>35%) students. Very high percentages of trainees reported pursuing advanced scientific study (>85% of high school and >92% college students).
CONCLUSIONS
Summer research experiential programs can be successful in initiating or maintaining a student's interest in science careers.
背景
攻读高级科学学位的美国学生数量持续减少。暑期研究经验项目是向高中生和大学生介绍科学研究生活方式的理想途径。
方法
对1995年至2003年的参与者进行了跟踪调查，以评估学生对该项目的看法并衡量项目成果。
结果
呈现了287名（81%）参与者的回复数据。该项目成功招募了女生（67%）以及代表性不足的学生（超过35%）。极高比例的受训者表示会继续深造从事科学研究（超过85%的高中生和超过92%的大学生）。
结论
暑期研究体验项目能够成功激发或保持学生对科学职业的兴趣。
