“…Much of this research has focused on individual factors that may impact students' participation in the field. For example, research has shown that factors like women's and URM students' relative inexperience with programming (Beyer et al 2003;Margolis and Fisher 2002), their tendency toward lower confidence in their computing abilities (Beyer 2014;Cheryan et al 2016;Wilson 2002), and their tendency to view careers in computing as poor match with their personal values (Beyer et al 2003(Beyer et al , 2004Carter 2006;Diekman et al 2010) are all key reasons why women and URM students pursue computing at a lower rate than their male and/or majority peers.…”

“…The pipeline metaphor relies on a somewhat linear conception of careers with certain specified outcomes, such as moving from an undergraduate major in STEM, through PhD degrees and postdocs, to faculty positions, to tenure, and eventually to full rank in research universities. Previous research on why women leave STEM fields at a greater rate than their male counterparts has examined the motivation of women to pursue STEM undergraduate degrees (Beyer 2014;Griffith 2010;Grunert and Bobnerb 2011;London et al …”

“…Diversity in computer science and engineering is not only about gender, but to get its practitioners to reflect society at large. If a student has a positive experience in their first computer science course, their intention to take another is stronger (Beyer, 2014), which indicates that to improve an introductory course like the one in this study is important for long-term effects in the field.…”
