GaiT - the Gender and Information Technology Project

ANSN has joined GaIT, as an Industry Partner. This project involves researchers from three universities, who are investigating why girls continue to be under-represented in university IT courses. Key research questions have included: * What are girls’ and boys’ beliefs about IT courses, and what are the sources of these beliefs? * How do girls and boys choose or reject IT career related courses at the post-secondary level? * How do high school curriculum structures, school contexts and teaching practices affect boys’ and girls’ interests in pursuing studies in IT-related areas
