    Edith Cowan University Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Strategic Partnerships) Achieving Gender Equality at Edith Cowan University (ECU) – Discussion Paper The Science Academic Gender Equity (SAGE) Pilot of the Athena SWAN Charter in Australia What is Athena SWAN? Athena SWAN is now an international accreditation scheme which recognises a commitment to supporting and advancing women's careers in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) in higher education and research.1 The term ‘Athena’ refers to a UK based ‘Athena Project’ that began in 1999 with the aim of addressing the loss of women in science, engineering and technology based disciplines as they progressed through academia. By establishing extensive associations throughout the UK higher education sector, the project developed good practice guidelines which improved female academic retention. The project closed in 2007 however its mission continues through initiatives including the Athena SWAN Charter. The acronym ‘SWAN’ stands for the Scientific Women’s Academic Network, an entity that collects real life views and experiences of women in academia across the UK. The Athena SWAN Charter combines these two elements in advancing the representation of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM). Having commenced in the UK, the initiative has an extensive history there of advancing the careers of women in higher education and research sectors since it was established in 2005, and the scheme has been highly successful in improving the promotion and retention of women within STEMM. With such success, the Pilot has now been launched in Australia by the Science Academic Gender Equity (SAGE) initiative which addresses gender equality in the STEMM sector.

    Abstracts INTRODUCING AUTHENTIC RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AT THE UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL Jemma Berrya, Aaron Beasleyb, Zoe Bainesc, Alex Kungc, Hayley Taskerc, Madison Trinderc, Elin Grayd Presenting Author: Jemma Berry ([email protected]) aLecturer, School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Perth Western Australia 6027, Australia bMSc Candidate, School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Perth Western Australia 6027, Australia cUndergraduate Student, School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Perth Western Australia 6027, Australia dPostdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Perth Western Australia 6027, Australia KEYWORDS: skills transfer, experience, research One of the challenges facing new graduates is that they don’t necessarily know what lies out there for them once they have finished their degrees. Not all students are aware of the jobs they are qualified for, or the post-graduate opportunities that may be available to them. In an attempt to engage with undergraduate students and give them a glimpse into life after graduation, we ran a pilot Cancer Research Summer Project (CRSP). In this pilot program we took four high-achieving second-year biomedical science students through a three-week research project, which exposed them to a real-life laboratory experience, and also provided them with additional skills training in areas such as scientific journal article writing and database mining. Students were given a fully immersive laboratory experience, receiving the type of instruction and supervision they could expect in either post-graduate study or out in the workforce, with some autonomy, and successes and failures driven by their own hands.

Rasch-generated linear scales were created to measure reading comprehension (based on 28 items with 300 students) and attitude and behaviour to learning EFL (based on 24 items with 300 students). The data for both scales had a good fit to a Rasch measurement model, good separation of measures compared to the errors, good targeting, and the response categories were answered consistently and logically, so that valid inferences could be drawn.
