  • technology Education for Woman by d i y technology in closing gender gap
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2008
    Co-Authors: Ji Sun Lee
    Abstract:

    Today more than ever, the importance of technology is increasing rapidly and related job opportunities are growing in electrical engineering, computer science and other related fields. Despite this trend, female employment in these fields is still low and it is hard to find renowned female scientists and programmers. In addition, most attendees at technology exhibitions and readers of technology magazines are male. Why aren't women interested in computer science and electrical engineering? I believe that creating an interest in technology and science for women from a young age could help increase the number of females in technology-based fields. When a mother and daughter make electronic crafts together, the mother becomes a good role model for technology use, and can help stimulate her child's interests in science and technology. This paper explores the reasons why women are not interested in technology and how this can be overcome.

Farming provides women with growing economic and livelihood opportunities, but the existing national vocational Education and training (VET) system does not address learning needs of women adequately. The government has been open, however, to initiatives that seek to promote alternative, innovative approaches to VET, especially those which may enhance possibilities for women. A group of rural VET schools, supported by the Agricultural and Rural Vocational Education Project of the Swiss non‐governmental organisation Helvetas, has sought to develop a highly innovative, effective and cost‐efficient approach to vocational Education for Woman farmers. The ar...
