Mercier, E. M.; Barron, B.; O'Connor, K. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
Gender differences in the pursuit of technology careers are a current issue of concern. We report on two studies that use surveys, drawings and interviews to examine sixth- and eighth-grade students' perceptions of knowledgeable computer users and their self-perception as a computer-type person. In Study 1, participants were asked to generate…
