“…This marks a significant shift in the country’s focus on modernizing and reclassifying itself as a knowledge economy that requires highly skilled workers and more investment in education, especially STEM, to improve the employment rate. The government flagged education as a critical element in achieving this ambitious goal ( KSA, 2016 ; Jawhar et al, 2022 ).…”

Although researchers actively study women’s experiences in STEM fields, few do so from women’s perspective. We thematically analyzed life narrative semi-structured interview data (46-item open-ended instrument, 90–120 Min) from eight STEM pioneering Saudi Arabian women careerists (mathematics, medicine, and biology) (convenience sample summer 2023). The objective was to glean their insights to discern self-reported influences (internal and external), struggles, and challenges in launching and advancing their careers. The extremely accomplished participants (all married, most with children) averaged age 65+, had 40+ years of experience and came from the three largest Saudi provinces. Important factors influencing choosing STEM included personality traits (e.g., deep desire to academically succeed; problem focused); secondary school peer/academic learning experiences; and male family member support, especially fathers. Struggles and challenges (often viewed as opportunities) included the mud (not glass) ceiling; male colleagues’ harsh, prejudiced treatment; and unsupportive administration. Participants were research driven and willing to relocate, re-educate, and change direction to establish and advance their careers. Implications for future research and policy initiatives are woven into the discussion and recommendations.

“…Saat ini, perlu diterima bahwa peran perempuan belum optimal. Persoalan mendasar yang berkontribusi terhadap keberadaan situasi seperti ini adalah kenyataan bahwa potensi dan kemampuan perempuan belum terlembagakan (Arpino, 2019;Jawhar, 2022;Kröger, 2020;Wang, 2024). Masih kurangnya layanan yang tersedia bagi perempuan.…”

Artikel ini membahas tentang bagaimana persoalan hak perempuan untuk memperoleh pendidikan dengan menyoroti peran perempuan dalam ranah pendidikan dan pentingnya pendidikan bagi perempuan. Artikel ini dibuat dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur, dimana penelitiannya menggunakan berbagai sumber Hasil penelitian ini adalah Sejarah menunjukkan bahwa perempuan seringkali terpinggirkan dari akses terhadap pendidikan, namun perjuangan tokoh seperti Cut Nyak Dien dan R.A. Kartini telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam memperjuangkan hak pendidikan perempuan. Meskipun semakin banyak perempuan yang memperoleh akses terhadap pendidikan tinggi, tantangan masih tetap ada, terutama di beberapa negara yang masih memiliki jumlah perempuan yang mengejar pendidikan tinggi dalam jumlah terbatas. Pentingnya pendidikan bagi perempuan tercermin dari dampak positifnya terhadap pengembangan pribadi, ekonomi, kesejahteraan dan keadilan. Oleh karena itu, menekankan peran perempuan dalam pendidikan serta upaya untuk memastikan akses yang setara terhadap pendidikan bagi semua gender adalah kunci dalam memajukan masyarakat secara keseluruhan. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk terus memperkuat peran perempuan dalam pendidikan guna mencapai pembangunan yang berkelanjutan dan inklusif.

“…Industries such as education, technology, healthcare, finance, and professional services are classified as knowledge-intensive, as the generation, management, and sharing of knowledge and information are the major contributors to value in these industries. The global interest in the transition to a knowledge economy positions knowledge as a driving force of cultural, economic, and social development (Asongu & Andrés, 2020 ; Jawhar et al, 2022 ; Zeb, 2022 ). In the Knowledge-Based View framework, knowledge is regarded as a real strategic resource because it is difficult to imitate.…”

Despite originating in the tech industry, hackathons have now been adopted in a variety of domains. However, little is known about the status of hackathon literature within educational research. As the number of studies grows, it is essential to develop an understanding of the current state and identify prevalent topics and trends shaping the literature. Toward this goal, this study conducted a bibliometric analysis and scoping review on hackathon research in the field of education. A total of 249 documents written by 1,309 authors and published in 180 unique sources for the period 2014–2022 were identified. Collectively, the dataset amassed 1,312 citations with an average of 6.69 citations per document. The most prevalent subject areas were computer science, social sciences, engineering, medicine, and business. Word frequency analysis showed that “innovation” was the most occurring word, which represents the fundamental objective of hackathon events. The most influential work was the analysis of hackathons as an informal learning platform. Engineering education was the most trending topic while healthcare is an emerging research cluster. Overall, this study provides a better understanding of the hackathon literature and its research landscape in an educational setting.
