Corston, Rod; Colman, Andrew M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
A study of 36 males and 36 females ages 15-52 found that males performed better than females on a computer-based tracking task under different audience conditions. A significant gender and audience interaction was found, with females performing better in the presence of a female than alone or with a male. Implications for educational policy and…

Kadijevich, Djordje – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2000
Examines male and female high school students' attitudes toward computers in relation to gender and computer experience. Findings revealed: males showed a more positive attitude toward computers even when computer experience was controlled; females were less interested in computer science (CS) than males, however no gender differences were found…

Lockheed, Marlaine E.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1985
This study of secondary school students was conducted to determine effects of gender, grade, mathematics placement, and access to microcomputers on computer literacy achievement gains. Results indicate males, younger students, and students in college preparatory and advanced math courses gained more than their counterparts. Computer access was…

Becker, Henry Jay; Sterling, Carleton W. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1987
Data from a national survey of microcomputer uses in schools are used to demonstrate differences in access to and uses of computers by students. Factors examined include race, socioeconomic status, sex, achievement, and ability level. Also discussed are inequality and inequity and the need for additional research on computer impact. (RP)

Dugdale, Sharon; DeKoven, Elyon; Ju, Mi-Kyung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1998
A study of 50 students (grade 9) enrolled in a computer course found that home computer access for females was a predictor of early success for using computers as a learning resource and that enrollment in a computer course was greater for females who had access to home computers. Initial advantages diminished with continued use of computers. (PEN)
