“…The American Association of University Women report, Gender Gaps: Where Schools Still Fail Our Children (1998), indicates that females still lag behind males in their interest in computer studies, enrollment in computer courses, and decisions to major in computer sciences. Women remain underrepresented in technology-based careers, such as engineering, computer studies, and medicine (Klein & Ortman, 1994;Mark, 1992). If females are to be full participants in their learning environments and in the workplace, they must possess basic and necessary technology skills and knowledge for participation and advancement.…”

Gender disparity exists in many educational environments despite conscientious attempts to equalize opportunities and outcomes. Research studies indicate females are less likely to effectively engage in the use of technology for problem solving. However, in a two-year study of a Midwest elementary multi-age classroom, researchers studied computer-using activity of grade 1-5 students using Lego/ Logo technologies. Teachers put in practice learning strategies that encouraged both sexes to engage in computer-oriented problem solving. Through an experimental design, observation, and teacher assessment, the results suggest that, in practice, females demonstrate significant gains in self-efficacy using computer technology in this computer-rich classroom and report positive perceptions of self. Girls report more positive assessments of female technological competence and current computer use while boys do not waver from a belief in male technological superiority. Observation and teacher assessment indicate females are solving problems without asking for help. Furthermore, girls suggest that males are not more technologically savvy than they are. . SALLY R.

“…1 There is also an underrepresentation of female role models in pipeline courses; for example, men are more likely to teach advanced math classes, mothers are more likely than fathers to have less confidence and interest in mathematics, and there are few female role models in physics and engineering (Stage et al, 1985). It is well documented that curricular materials follow similar patterns (AAUW, 1992;Klein & Ortman, 1994;Scott & Schau, 1985).…”

The math/science pipeline in public schooling is best described as a phenomenon in which, beginning in late middle/junior high school, the number of female students, students with lower socioeconomic status, and students of color in proportion to White male students in advanced math and science progressively shrinks during high school. This article shares the findings from a survey of high school students undertaken to determine the degree to which the nationally recognized pipeline phenomenon exists in five southwestern high schools. Through this study, the authors document a local instance of a national phenomenon. This is especially important in order to address some public school educators' perceptions that the national pipeline phenomenon somehow does not apply to their own schools. Thus, in this article, the authors aim to identify patterns of inequality that might exist in order to create a foundation from which to explore educational inequality more deeply.

“…It has been investigated in different researches that gender, race, other religion, ethnicity are prejudiced to other race, religion and gender. (Dunlop et al, 2002;Hurtado, 2001;Prutzman & Johnson, 1997) (Brehm, 1998;Engberg, 2004;Henderson-King & Kaleta, 2000;Klein et al, 1994) (Christie & Dawes, 2001). While keeping in mind, all the conclusions that have been derived from these investigations.…”
