本文探讨了男孩和女孩在对待信息和通信技术方面的差异。数据是从瑞士蒂奇诺州高中最后几年级的学生那里收集的，这是一个更广泛的欧洲项目的一部分，特别侧重于信息和通信技术研究或职业生涯的潜在吸收。在与教师进行初步的重点小组讨论和与从事信息和通信技术工作的妇女进行访谈之后，进行了一项涉及539名学生的定性-定量研究。结果表明，在信息和通信技术的使用和认知方面，没有很大的性别差异。在对性别数字鸿沟的看法上存在微小差异，而在对信通技术未来专业或学术职业的看法和价值观上存在相关差异。
This paper explores the differences between boys and girls in their approach to ICT. Data were gathered from students in the final grades of high school in the Swiss Canton Ticino as part of a wider European project, with a particular focus on the potential uptake of a study or professional career in ICT. Preliminary focus groups with teachers and interviews with women with a job in ICT were followed by a quali-quantitative study which involved 539 students. Results indicate that there are no big gender differences when it comes to ICT use and perception. Small differences are found in the perception of the gender digital divide, while relevant differences were found in the perception and values attached to future professional or academic careers in ICT.
