For example, relative to their male colleagues, women in STEM\u2013and even more so women of color in STEM\u2013often report having to prove their competency over and over again (Williams, 2014).\u00a0 This is an example of what authors have termed a \u201c<\/span>prove-it-again<\/b>\u201d bias in which women feel they have to provide more evidence of competence than men in order to be seen as equally competent. For example, \u201csituations where women suggest an idea which is overlooked, only to have the idea taken up when it is repeated by a man.\u201d Each instance may not have a significant impact, but collectively these experiences can add up to marginalize those whose\u00a0<\/span>bids for recognition are ignored<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||2px|||” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|30px|20px|30px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|30px|30px|30px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|20px|20px|20px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”rgba(0,0,0,0.12)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Recognition, STEM identity, and STEM persistence” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”||||||||” title_text_align=”center” title_font_size=”52px” title_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” title_font_size_tablet=”32px” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#2f4858″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” link_text_color=”#b14d38″ quote_font=”||||||||” quote_text_color=”#2f4858″ quote_font_size=”24px” quote_line_height=”1.4em” header_font=”Sedan||||||||” header_font_size=”72px” header_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_font=”Sedan||||||||” header_2_font_size=”52px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Sedan||||||||” header_3_font_size=”36px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” header_4_font=”Sedan||||||||” header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Sedan||||||||” header_5_font_size=”20px” header_5_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Inter|700|||||||” header_6_font_size=”16px” header_6_line_height=”1.4em” quote_font_size_tablet=”16px” quote_font_size_phone=”15px” quote_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_3_font_size_phone=”18px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”16px” header_4_font_size_phone=”15px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_5_font_size_tablet=”15px” header_5_font_size_phone=”14px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_6_font_size_tablet=”14px” header_6_font_size_phone=”14px” header_6_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Intuitively, it is easy to grasp disparities such as stalled career advancement that arise from inequitable recognition amongst peers. Moreover, there is a significant body of research that illuminates a more problematic and longer-term impact: lack of\u00a0<\/span>recognition<\/span><\/i>\u00a0as a scientist leads to lack of forming an\u00a0<\/span>identity<\/span><\/i>\u00a0as a scientist, which can lower likelihood of\u00a0<\/span>persistence<\/span><\/i>\u00a0in STEM. A framework for\u00a0<\/span>STEM identity<\/b>\u00a0has emerged that emphasizes competence, performance, and recognition (Carlone & Johnson, 2007). In this framework,\u00a0<\/span>competency<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is viewed as not just knowledge but proficiency with valued skills (e.g., STEM practices).\u00a0<\/span>Performance<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is the demonstration of scientific practices in professional settings within the authentic culture of STEM (and in classrooms). The third component is explicit\u00a0<\/span>recognition<\/span><\/i>\u00a0of competence and performance in ways culturally appropriate for STEM.
