随着社会在许多不同方面越来越依赖数字技术，那些缺乏相关渠道和技能的人越来越落后。在受到数字鸿沟不成比例影响的服务不足群体中，正在从监禁过渡并寻求在监狱系统之外重新进入劳动力市场的妇女（过渡妇女）。转型期妇女很少接触到良好的技术教育，因为她们在监禁期间通常与数字环境隔绝。此外，尽管近几十年来，女性已成为美国监禁人口中增长最快的一部分，但监狱教育和重返社会项目仍然没有很好地适应她们。大多数节目主要是为占主导地位的男性人群设计的。因此，转型期妇女在获得和使用相关数字技术方面面临着监禁后的重大挑战，从而增加了进入或重新进入劳动力市场的困难。在此背景下，我们的多学科研究团队进行了实证研究，作为中西部地区向过渡妇女提供技术教育的一部分。在这篇文章中，我们报告了我们对中西部75名变性妇女的采访结果，这些访谈是为了为这些妇女制定量身定制的技术教育计划而进行的。在我们的研究中，超过一半的参与者是有色人种女性，她们面临着不稳定的住房和经济状况。然后，我们讨论了我们在制定边缘化妇女教育计划时采用的原则以及参与者对该计划的反馈。我们的团队于2020年2月在公共图书馆与重返社会的女性开展了面对面的会议，但由于2019冠状病毒病，我们不得不在3月份将会议转移到网上。我们以研究为基础的教育计划主要是为了支持女性提高她们的知识和对技术的舒适度，培养计算思维。我们的研究表明，低自我效能感和心理健康挑战，以及缺乏获取和使用技术的资源，是在支持过渡时期妇女学习技术方面需要解决的一些主要问题。本研究为转型期妇女和其他边缘人群的计算机教育提供了学术和实践意义。
As society increasingly relies on digital technologies in many different aspects, those who lack relevant access and skills are lagging increasingly behind. Among the underserved groups disproportionately affected by the digital divide are women who are transitioning from incarceration and seeking to reenter the workforce outside the carceral system (women-in-transition). Women-in-transition rarely have been exposed to sound technology education, as they have generally been isolated from the digital environment while in incarceration. Furthermore, while women have become the fastest-growing segment of the incarcerated population in the United States in recent decades, prison education and reentry programs are still not well adjusted for them. Most programs are mainly designed for the dominant male population. Consequently, women-in-transition face significant post-incarceration challenges in accessing and using relevant digital technologies and thus have added difficulties in entering or reentering the workforce. Against this backdrop, our multi-disciplinary research team has conducted empirical research as part of technology education offered to women-in-transition in the Midwest. In this article, we report results from our interviews with 75 women-in-transition in the Midwest that were conducted to develop a tailored technology education program for the women. More than half of the participants in our study are women of color and face precarious housing and financial situations. Then, we discuss principles that we adopted in developing our education program for the marginalized women and participants’ feedback on the program. Our team launched in-person sessions with women-in-reentry at public libraries in February 2020 and had to move the sessions online in March due to COVID-19. Our research-informed educational program is designed primarily to support the women in enhancing their knowledge and comfort with technology and nurturing computational thinking. Our study shows that low self-efficacy and mental health challenges, as well as lack of resources for technology access and use, are some of the major issues that need to be addressed in supporting technology learning among women-in-transition. This research offers scholarly and practical implications for computing education for women-in-transition and other marginalized populations.
