Computers, Gender Bias, and Young Children.
Bhargava, Ambika; Kirova-Petrova, Anna; McNair, Shannan
Information Technology in Childhood Education Annual, p263-74 1999
Discusses gender discrepancy in classroom computer access and use; suggests strategies to minimize gender biases. Argues that gender differences in computer usage are due to biased classroom practices, lack of female role models, home computer gender gaps, and scarcity of bias-free software. Maintains that increased teacher/parent awareness, antibias software, and equitable classroom computer use minimize biased attitudes toward technology. (Author/KB)
