Abstract

catalaHi ha una preocupacio compartida entre paisos desenvolupats i en vies de desenvolupament respecte a les baixes taxes de dones en arees STEM (ciencia, tecnologia, enginyeria i matematiques). En aquest context, una de les estrategies mes frequents es el desenvolupament de tallers per aprendre a programar i de cursos amb activitats relacionades amb disciplines STEM, amb la finalitat d’augmentar la presencia de dones en aquestes arees. L’objectiu principal d’aquest article no es tan sols proporcionar una descripcio dels programes que donen suport a la inclusio de les nenes en la ciencia, sino tambe fer-ne una analisi critica sobre el disseny i la implementacio. Aquesta investigacio utilitza la tecnica d’analisi de contingut, una tecnica que permet fer inferencies valides i replicables des dels textos. La mostra estadistica de la metodologia prove d’una revisio exhaustiva de 64 programes anunciats en linia que tenen l’objectiu de donar suport a la incorporacio de nenes i dones en les disciplines STEM, sobretot en les tecnologies de la informacio. Els resultats finals demostren que, tot i la gran popularitat d’aquests programes, se’ls questiona forca pel que fa a la seva execucio, especialment l’efectivitat de les seves accions per reduir la bretxa digital de genere i la inclusio de les dones en la ciencia. EnglishThere is a shared lasting concern in both developed and developing countries regarding the low rates of participating women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). In this context, one of the most frequent actions is the development of STEM and coding workshops as a way to increase the presence of women in these fields. The main object of this article is not only to provide a description of the programs that support girls into STEM, but also to make a critical analysis of their design.

结束数字性别鸿沟。编码俱乐部是解决方案吗?
catala发达国家和发展中国家都对STEM领域(科学、技术、工程和数学)的女性比例低表示担忧。在这种情况下,最常见的策略之一是举办研讨会,学习如何规划和开设与STEM学科相关的活动,目的是增加妇女在这些领域的参与。本文的主要目的不仅是描述支持女孩参与科学的项目,而且对其设计和实施进行批判性分析。这项研究使用了内容分析技术,这种技术可以从文本中进行有效和可复制的推断。该方法的统计演示表明,对64个旨在支持女孩和妇女融入STEM学科,特别是信息技术学科的在线课程进行了全面审查。最终结果表明,尽管这些项目非常受欢迎,但它们的实施受到了强烈质疑,尤其是它们在缩小数字性别差距和将女性纳入科学领域方面的行动的有效性。英语在这种情况下,最频繁的行动之一是发展STEM和编码研讨会,以此增加妇女在这些领域的参与。本文的主要目的不仅是描述支持女孩进入STEM的项目,还对其设计进行批判性分析。本研究采用了内容分析方法,这是一种从文本中做出可复制和有效推断的技术。该方法样本来自对网上宣布的64个项目的全面审查,这些项目旨在支持女孩和妇女融入STEM,特别是信息技术。正如最终结果所显示的那样,除了这些项目的高度受欢迎之外,还有一些关于其设计和实施的重要问题,特别是关于其行动在减少与数字性别差距相关的问题以及将女性纳入STEM学术界和STC行业方面的有效性。
