TI - Gender bias in attitude towards girls in the Use of computers in selected schools in central Africa
AU - Yeba, Judith Sama Mouokuio Meno
AB - This paper examines whether there is attitudinal gender bias towards girls in the
use of computers in selected schools in Central Africa. Drawing from the theory
of socialization, the paper also establishes the causes of the attitudinal gender
bias towards girls in the use of computers wherever they are manifest. The aim
is to ensure women’s access to the beneﬁts of ICTs, making it a central tool in
women’s empowerment and the promotion of gender equality. Quantitative and
qualitative data were collected from the PanAf observatory (Indicators 4.4.3,
4.4.4, 4.4.5, and 4.4.6) which is an open knowledge-sharing resource for
research on the pedagogical integration of ICTs established by the PanAfrican
Research Agenda on the Pedagogical Integration of ICTs. Questionnaires,
interviews schedule, and focus group discussion guide, were developed and
validated by the PanAf team. Secondary data were collected from documents
and other scientiﬁc research in this domain. The target population consisted of
eleven schools from Cameroon, Central African Republic and Congo. Data
were illustrated on tables and analysed by describing the data and interpretation
of meanings of the information supplied by the participants. The ﬁndings
demonstrate that there is an attitudinal gender bias towards girls in computer
use. This is due to the female students’ perception of themselves, ignorance,
public opinion and their parents. Based on the ﬁndings recommendations are
being made to encourage female and male students to participate equally and
succeed in the use of computers.
