“…Moreover, in programming, studies found that females can suffer from frustration, inadequacy, and a lower self-awareness level than males when working on a similar coding project (Kemp et al, 2020 ), a finding that would explain the gender and performance gaps. Other studies reported that programming careers are more dominant by men, and women do not excel in programming or show an interest in learning to program (Contreras-Ortiz et al, 2021 ; Edmondson, 2008 ). Recommendations to improve the performance gap include upgrading course design and focusing on pedagogy, as studies showed that females favour problem-based learning, in-class discussions, and group work (Wagner, 2016 ).…”

Social network analysis involves delicate and sophisticated mathematical concepts which are abstract and challenging to acquire by traditional methods. Many studies show that female students perform poorly in computer science-related courses compared to male students. To address these issues, this research investigates the impact of employing a web-based interactive programming tool, Jupyter notebooks, on supporting deeper conceptual understanding and, therefore, better attainment levels of the course learning outcomes in a female setting. The work also highlights the overall experience and enjoyment this tool brought to the classroom. Document analysis and questionnaire were used as data collection methods. A mixed approach was applied, mid-term exam documents were investigated qualitatively, and the questionnaire was analyzed quantitatively. Our results showed that most students correctly perceived the learning outcomes and knowledge introduced within the Jupyter environment. Moreover, the interactive nature of Jupyter enhanced engagement and brought enjoyment to the learning experience.
