Pre-Service Teachers' Attitudes towards Computer Use: A Singapore Survey. (2008, result): “This finding does not support past research which suggested significant differences in computer attitudes by gender (e.g. Margolis & Fisher, 2002; Markauskaite, 2006).”
Persistence, Engagement, and Migration in Engineering Programs (2008, background): “MIT adjusted its admissions policies to help bring about gender balance (Widnall, 2000), and Carnegie Mellon affected the makeup of its computer science study body by changing admissions criteria and first-year courses ( Margolis and Fisher, 2002 ).”
Interest and Identity Development in Instruction: An Inductive Model (2009, neutral): “Not unrelated to the discussion of coupling age-related identity development with the triggering of interest is the fact that those who continue to pursue science often have parents in science ( Margolis & Fisher, 2002 ; Sonnert, 1995 ).”
Sex Differences in Video Game Play: (2004, background): “Moller et al. (1992) explained that “children who do not exhibit gender-appropriate behavior are viewed as not fulfilling their gender role and are considered an anomaly.”
Do Female and Male Role Models Who Embody STEM Stereotypes Hinder Women’s Anticipated Success in STEM? (2011, background): “Computer scientists in particular are stereotyped as ‘‘computer nerds’’ who are socially awkward and obsessed with computers (Margolis & Fisher, 2002; Schott & Selwyn, 2000).”
A media computation course for non-majors (2003, background): “Studies suggest that computing courses are seen as overly-technical and avoiding relationships to real applications [9], and are frankly boring and lacking opportunity for creativity [1].”
Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. (2010, background): “For instance, a predominantly male group of engineers tailored the first generation of automotive airbags to adult male bodies, resulting in avoidable deaths for women and children” (Margolis & Fisher, 2002, pp. 2–3).”
Ambient belonging: how stereotypical cues impact gender participation in computer science. (2009, background): “Because of their underrepresentation, women are not only missing out on some of the best career opportunities (Kalwarski, Mosher, Paskin, & Rosato, 2007), but computer science is missing out on female perspectives—a fact that can have negative consequences for society, as evidenced by the negative o”
WP:clubhouse?: an exploration of Wikipedia's gender imbalance (2011, background): “In Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing [17], Margolis and Fisher describe a series of studies and educational reforms that helped Carnegie Mellon University address a wide gender gap in their undergraduate Computer Science program.”
Unlocking the clubhouse: the Carnegie Mellon experience (2002, neutral): “What happened?”
