Girls and Information Communication Technology (ICT) Career Pathways: Tackling the Upper Middle School 'Turn Off'

该项目旨在制定战略应对因素，这些因素导致女孩在高中阶段形成对信息通信技术的负面看法，以至于她们绝大多数拒绝将信息通信技术作为深造和未来职业的选择。该项目将有助于澳大利亚的国家研究重点3，即建立和改造前沿技术，通过合作开发一种战略模式来应对被确定为“使女孩远离信息通信技术”的因素，从而最大限度地提高创造性和技术能力。

This project aims to develop strategic responses to factors associated with girls forming such negative perceptions of Information Communication Technology during their upper middle school years that they overwhelmingly reject Information Communication Technology as an option for advanced study and future careers. This project will contribute towards Australia's National Research Priority 3 of building and transforming frontier technologies to maximize creative, technological capability by collaboratively developing a strategic model for responding to factors identified as 'turning girls off Information Communication Technology'.
