Re-ment--Reverse Mentoring as a Way to Deconstruct Gender Related Stereotypes in ICT
Permoser, Kathrin
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Mobile Learning (13th, Budapest, Hungary, Apr 10-12, 2017)
In applying a reverse mentoring approach, the project "re-ment" aims at raising the interest of female students for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professions and at contributing to the deconstruction of gender stereotypes in this field. This approach offers a completely new and innovative perspective in the field of gender equality and advancement of girls in technology. This innovative mobile learning approach is applied in "re-ment" as the mentors and the mentees communicate via a social network. The project implements reverse-mentoring programs in four partner schools in Austria, the main result being a comprehensive course for teacher education. [For the complete proceedings, see ED579190.]
