Gender Issues
An Educator s Guide to Gender Bias Issues. gender bias /accessibility / funding The gender gap and gender bias in technology are complicated issues.
http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/wp/access/gender.html

Extractions: gender bias / accessibility funding hearing disability visual disability ... other disabilities Introduction: Technologies should be equally accessible to male and female students. Yet, as girls enter adolescence, large numbers of them tend to lose interest in science, math, and computer science. Girls are narrowing the gender gap in science and math, but not in technology (Closing the Gender Gap: Gender Gaps Fact Sheet, 1997). Overall girls' test scores and course enrollments have risen in these areas, with the exception of computer science. In order to attempt to address this issue, the cause of the discrepancies between males and females in computer use must be established. Several issues need to be addressed: What is gender bias? What evidence is there that a technology gender gap and gender bias exist? Why are girls in their adolescent years losing interest in computers? What are the differences and similarities between how males and females perceive and use technology? What technologies are out there? For whom are they intended?

The ITU recognizes that society as a whole will benefit from equal participation of women and men in policy and decision-making and from equal access to communications services. Creating telecommunications policies and human resources development programmes targeted at women can help alleviate poverty of women and their families. Additionally, by leveraging the skills of women, developing countries can significantly add to the pool of talent that will be needed in the new information society. Gender Information

http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~nrcgt/news/spring99/sprng994.html

Extractions: There has been a great deal of research conducted on gender differences and stereotypes of both regular and gifted students. A study by Benbow (1992) reported that fewer females are labeled as mathematically gifted than males. The study also stated that females labeled as gifted are less likely to take demanding high school math and science courses, major in math or science in college (40% vs. 72%), or pursue a career in a math or science-related field (24% vs. 56%). For whatever reason, gifted females may hold poor perceptions of their mathematics and science abilities. Perceptions are a learned trait. One study capitalized on this assumption and attempted to help gifted females "unlearn" those potentially detrimental attitudes that they possessed and develop a more realistic and healthy outlook of themselves and their abilities. This study, conducted by Heller and Ziegler in 1996, assumed that a person's achievement stemmed from two variables, locus of control (either external or internal) and stability (either stable or variable). An external factor is one that a subject is unable to control, such as task difficulty or chance, and an internal factor is one that is able to be controlled by the subject, such as ability or effort. Stability was measured as the consistency of a characteristic over time. Ability and task difficulty were seen as stable, effort and chance were considered variable.
Gender Issues: Communication Differences In Interpersonal Relationships

http://ohioline.osu.edu/flm02/FS04.html

Extractions: Ohio State University Extension, The Ohio State University Studies indicate that women, to a greater extent than men, are sensitive to the interpersonal meanings that lie "between the lines" in the messages they exchange with their mates. That is, societal expectations often make women responsible for regulating intimacy, or how close they allow others to come. For that reason, it is argued that women pay more attention than men to the underlying meanings about intimacy that messages imply. Men on the other hand, to a greater extent than women, are more sensitive to "between the lines meanings" about status. For men, societal expectations are that they must negotiate hierarchy, or who's the captain and who's the crew (Tannen, 1990; Wood, 2001). These differences in emphasis on interpersonal vs. status implications of messages typically lead women to expect relationships to be based on interdependence (mutual dependence) and cooperation. Women more frequently emphasize the similarities between themselves and others, and try to make decisions that make everyone happy. In contrast, it is more typical for men to expect relationships to be based on independence and competition. Men more frequently emphasize the differences between themselves and others, and often make decisions based on their personal needs or desires.

WITIA Women In The Information Age
The Women in the Information Age Project at Harvard University's John F.

Professor Jane Foundation's Kennedy School research draws together a representative collection of quality sites which add value to this discussion.

Extractions: The Women in the Information Age Project at the Center for Public Policy and Administration at the University of Massachusetts Amherst aims to address these issues by drawing together a representative collection of quality sites that add value to this discussion. The sites referred to in this website come from academia, industry and private individuals. But the common denominator is that they contain relevant and timely information relating to women's involvement in the burgeoning world of information technology. Starting with the experiences of young children, they trace young women's technological exposure through education to the workplace and out to cyberspace. And they also touch on the treatment of these issues in the law and in key policy documents. In time, we intend for this site to actively create a community of researchers, managers and policy-makers with an interest in this issue. To this end, we seek your feedback and comments - please click on the "About WITIA" tab, at left, to contact us.

http://www.terc.edu/mathequity/gender.html

Extractions: Popular culture offers little out-of-school support for children's mathematical learning, with one potential exceptioncomputer games. While many of the more recent games purport to be"educational", and to "promote children's mathematical learning", there is little research to support these claims. How do children learn significant mathematics from computer games? What are the characteristics of games, and of game-playing contexts, that interact with learning? Why are the children who play electronic games predominantly male? How might we understand and address this out-of- school inequity in girls'and boys' exposure to technology and mathematics? This project will examine the intersection of gaming, mathematics knowledge, and gender, with particular attention to differences in the ways girls and boys engage in computer games that involve mathematical thinking. The eventual goal of the project is to understand enough about the interactions among these three fields to influence the design of computer games so that they will be at least as appealing to girls as to boys.
