Alma Pisabarro-Marron; Carlos Vivaracho-Pascual; Esperanza Manso-Martinez; Silvia Arias-Herguedas – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: A successful activity based on the scavenger hunt (SH) game is presented here. Although "serious game" in education now seems synonymous with videogame, the effectiveness of hands-on traditional games to increase student performance that, besides, they also like is defended and proved. The proposal is not focused, as is…

Ottemo, Andreas; Gonsalves, Allison J.; Danielsson, Anna T. – Gender and Education, 2021
Physics- and computer-related disciplines are strongly male dominated in Western higher education. Feminist research has demonstrated how this can be understood as reflecting a strong privileging of mind and rationality (over body/nature/emotions) in these disciplines, which harmonises with broader notions of masculinity as transcendental and…

Joseph R. Cimpian; Jo R. King – Grantee Submission, 2024
Men significantly outnumber women in physics, engineering, and computer science (PECS) majors, with a recent male-to-female ratio of approximately 4:1, a stark contrast to the near parity in other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines (1). This gender disparity in PECS carries wide-reaching implications for equity,…

Kuburat Famuditimi-Bello – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Historically, girls and women have experienced gender disparity in access to, and persistence in, STEM education. Though women comprise 50% of the total workforce, they occupy only 25% of STEM-related occupations. STEM degrees and occupations have been linked to economic prosperity, both for individuals and the nation as a whole. However, women…

Swanson, Dewey; Gusev, Dmitri A. – Association Supporting Computer Users in Education, 2017
The Purdue Polytechnic Institute was created two years ago from the former College of Technology. This was more than a name change; it represented a transformation which will have an impact not only the curriculum, but on learning, and teaching methods. Students need technical skills but they must also be able to collaborate, be problem solvers,…
