In order to increase female representation in Computer Science (CS), we need female teachers who have positive attitudes and can provide role ...
Social Perceptions in Computer Science and Implications for Diverse Students
ICER '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference on International Computing Education ResearchThe barriers to diversity in computer science (CS) are complex, consisting of both structural and social barriers. In this paper, we focus on social perceptions for students in grades 7-12 in the U.S. using surveys of nationally representative samples ...
