Yau, Hon Keung; Cheng, Alison Lai Fong – Journal of Technology Studies, 2012
Past studies have found male students to have more confidence in using technology for learning than do female students. Males tend to have more positive attitudes about the use of technology for learning than do females. According to the Women's Foundation (2006), few studies examined gender relevant research in Hong Kong. It also appears that no…
