Investigation of first-year student’s actual ICT skills indicates that
both male and female students have greater confidence than actual
skill and that both male and female students have approximately the
same level of actual ICT skills.
Von Elinor M. Madigan, Marianne Goodfellow, Jeffrey A. Stone im Text Gender, Perceptions, and Reality Recent studies have found that gender gaps in information and communication technology (ICT) skills exist, despite changing gender role expectations for men and women. In this paper we report on survey results from an ongoing longitudinal study of ICT skills which found that - in general - first-year students were confident in their ICT skills. However, comparison of student skills in four major technology domain areas indicates that there are differences between the male and female first-year students in levels of confidence. We also report on a second, follow-up study designed to examine the actual ICT skills of the first-year students. This investigation indicates that both male and female students have greater confidence than actual skill. The study also found that both male and female students have approximately the same level of actual ICT skills. These findings suggest that female students, although possessing ICT skills similar to their male counterparts, do not perceive themselves as competent users of technology. These differences in ICT skill confidence have implications for fluency with technology in academia as well as the recruitment and retention of women in the Computer and Information Sciences.
