“Educators can influence girls' interest in STEM by incorporating hands-on, applied learning experiences, showcasing female role models, fostering positive STEM identities, and creating informal learning environments (Dasgupta & Stout, 2014;Hughes et al., 2013).”
From Fostering students’ motivation and self-efficacy in science, technology, engineering, and design through design thinking and making in project-based learning: a gender-perspective study in primary education (2025) · cites this paper as Hughes et al., 2013
In the citing paper
“The literature also indicates that -irrespective of the employed perspective on identity development and research methods -next to hands-on and on-site activities, role models may help adolescents in the in-depth exploration of their identities (Farland-Smith 2012; Hughes et al. 2013; Jones and Deutsch 2013; Whiting 2006).”
From The Role of School in Adolescents’ Identity Development. A Literature Review (2019) · cites this paper as Hughes et al. 2013
In the citing paper
“Being introduced to female role models convinced various girls that there was enough space for them in the STEM field, which appeared to stimulate the further exploration of their STEM-related identities.”
From The Role of School in Adolescents’ Identity Development. A Literature Review (2019) · cites this paper as Hughes et al. 2013
In the citing paper
“For example, Hughes et al. (2013), who combine perspectives on identity development, demonstrated -through survey, observation, and interview data -how meeting female role models in the male-dominated STEM field helped girls to develop a more detailed and knowledge-based (rather than prejudiced) picture of how they could become valuable members of a STEM community.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
