| Abstract | This study looks at female self-perceptions relating to effective research work and career progression. The researchers used focus groups and a questionnaire examine the attitudes and experiences and explore perceptions in four main skills areas: group work; communication; personal awareness; project planning and management. The study found that students were concerned about finding effective female role modes, negative work-role stereotypes and the work-life balance of an academic career. Based on these findings, a student workshop on gender issues has been developed, an outline of which is presented. |
