Girls and Information Technology in Denmark--An Account of a Socially Constructed Problem.

Elkjaer, Bente

Gender and Education, v4 n1-2 p25-40 1992

Discusses the gender-computer relationship, citing classroom observations and interviews in a Danish primary school's eighth grade (14- to 15-year-old students). Considers why common sex-stereotyping perceptions do not associate females with computer competency and do not associate males with problems in learning to deal competently with computers. (RLC)
