Reading
1. The girls in the sixth grade class at Chavez School in Palo
Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But, researchers say, by the time
they get to high school, they are victims of a major new gender gap in
technology.
2. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women
(AAUW) says, "Girls aren’t as comfortable as boys with the computer. They use it more for
word processing -not for problem solving. They don’t use it as much to discover new ways in
which to understand information."
3. Researchers at the American Association of University Women
examined a thousand studies on this subject. They found that
girls are only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls usually consider
boys to be much better than themselves in their ability and confidence with computers. And they use
computers less often than boys, outside the classroom.
4. Charles Cheadle, the lab instructor at this school, notices some differences. He
says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will damage the computer. Girls,
however, are afraid they might break it somehow."
5. Six years ago, Purple Moon, the software company, noticed that
girls were using computers less than boys. Karen Gould says, "Girls told us that the reason they
aren't keen on computer games is not because they're too fast, violent, or
too competitive. They said they're not difficult, but just really boring." Girls like more
social, cooperative and constructive
games.
6. Purple Moon says it knows what girls want from computer
amusement software. They want characters that are real and stories that are related to what's going
on in their own lives. Karen Gould says, "What we found from asking girls is that there is a
good reason why they don't want to play on a computer: they simply aren’t interested in the type
of games that are for sale on the market at present."
7. The AAUW researchers say that there is one basic lesson that
we must learn from this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be
closed. If it isn’t, women won’t be able to keep up with men in the 21st
century.
