Abstract(s)
Information and communication technologies (ICT)
are intertwined with almost every aspect of our daily lives, they
have become central to the way we communicate, work and
socialize. ICT are increasingly a structural aspect of societies,
however, ICT continue to be a highly gendered area of life in all
socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, and a source of
significant social inequality in enduring ways. This paper reports
on an ongoing research project ‘Gender@ICT’ which explores
the interrelations of gender and technologies in an educational
context in Portugal, based on focus groups and group activities
(games with images related to ICT and gender) with preschool
children and 9th grade students. The results bring evidence that
ICT is highly related to gender stereotypes which affect boys and
girls representations and practices, including their educational
and career choices.
