“…This becomes apparent by the fact that the anthology on the 10th anniversary of the Federal Association for Mentoring in Science (Forum Mentoring e.V.) discusses many practical reports and contributions on quality assurance, but does not include any contributions to the evaluation of mentoring programs (Petersen et al 2017). Looking at specific programs for female students in STEM, the evidence becomes even thinner.…”

Although mentoring programs for female STEM students are often carried out with a great deal of passion on the part of program managers and mentors, robust results on their effects are often missing. However, regular evaluations are indispensable for an efficient allocation of resources towards gender balances in STEM. To accomplish this requirement, empirically valid and easy-to-use evaluation concepts are needed. We therefore develop an evaluation concept which corresponds to a Logic Chart, capturing three levels of expected effects (output—outcome—impact). On each level of impact, we derive a set of success indicators that can be measured by qualitative methods. A major advantage of our evaluation design is that the effect of a mentoring program can be observed directly after the end of the program. Furthermore, the results provide information about different channels of impact (e.g., reduced stereotypes or increased self-efficacy) and hence offer concrete indications for the further development of the program.
