Sex Differences in Computing Participation: Concerns, Extent, Reasons and Strategies.
Clarke, Valerie A.
Australian Journal of Education, v34 n1 p52-66 Apr 1990
Review of the research literature indicates that sex differences favor males in overall computer use, course enrollments, programing and games but few sex differences in computer applications. Explanations focus on sex-based differences in expected outcomes arising from cultural beliefs. Eight strategies for increasing female participation are provided. (Author/MLW)
