计算机科学(CS)被广泛认为是一个领域与显着的性别差距,尽管计算的日益普及。一些因素,包括CS的态度,接触CS,与计算机编程的经验,并在使用计算机的信心被认为是相关的妇女参与CS低。这些因素也在学生对计算机职业的兴趣中发挥着重要作用,在中学期间尤其重要。然而,缺乏研究,探讨这些因素是如何相互关联的年轻学生(11-13岁)的差异。这项研究的目的是生成和测试一个统计模型,显示这些因素之间的相互关系与性别。共有260名中学生参与了这项研究。四个工具测量学生的CS的态度,在使用计算机,CS概念的理解,并与CS相关的活动的经验的信心。利用结构方程模型来检验假设的模型。研究结果表明,先前参与CS相关活动对CS态度和使用计算机的信心有显著的直接影响,但对学生的CS概念理解的影响是间接的。我们还发现,在一个女性特定的模型,以前的参与有一个显着更强的直接影响CS的态度相比,其效果在男性特定的模型。提供更多的CS相关的经验,特别是女学生的重要性,以及在该领域的活动,促进两性平等的建议进行了讨论。
Computer science (CS) is widely recognized as a field with a significant gender gap despite the growing prevalence of computing. Several factors including CS attitudes, exposure to CS, experience with computer programming, and confidence in using computers are understood to be correlated with the low participation of women in CS. These factors also play an important role in students' interest in CS careers and are particularly crucial during secondary school. However, there is a dearth of research that examines differences in how these factors are inter-correlated for younger students (ages 11-13). The purpose of this study was to generate and test a statistical model that demonstrates the inter-correlation amongst these factors with respect to gender. A total of 260 middle school students participated in this study. Four instruments measuring students' CS attitudes, confidence in using computers, CS conceptual understanding, and prior experience with CS-related activities were used. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the hypothesized model. The findings showed that previous participation in CS-related activities had a significant direct effect on CS attitudes and confidence in using computers, but the effect on students' CS conceptual understanding was indirect. We also found that in a female specific model, previous participation had a significantly stronger direct effect on CS attitudes compared to its effect in a male specific model. The importance of providing more CS-related experience, especially to female students, as well as suggestions on activities that promote gender equity in the field are discussed.
