Gender, Computers and Other School Subjects among Japanese and Swedish Students.

Makrakis, Vasilios; Sawada, Toshio

Computers & Education, v26 n4 p225-31 May 1996

A study on gender and computer use surveyed 773 ninth-grade students from Tokyo (Japan) and from Stockholm (Sweden). Regardless of country, males reported higher scores of aptitude with and enjoyment of computers than females did. Overall, boys also showed more positive attitudes toward mathematics and sciences; girls consistently reported languages as their favorite subjects. (Author/AEF)
