摘要

在线学习体验和成功所需的支持对男性和女性有何不同?新的调查研究收集了505名参与者的见解,其中包括295名女性,她们在2015年至2020年期间从在线课程毕业。本文概述了在线学生的特点,突出了女性学生面临的挑战以及支持她们成功的考虑因素。在学位水平和专业、收入、年龄和种族多样性等方面发现了性别人口统计学特征的差异。更多的男性选择计算机和信息科学专业,而更多的女性选择医疗保健和教育专业。在参加在线课程时,女学生也比男学生更年轻,收入水平也更低。虽然大多数研究参与者是白人,但女性比男性更具种族多样性。建议包括审查和修订课程和支持计划,考虑到特定的学习者特征,通过文化响应策略解决潜在的偏见,从而提高代表性。未来的研究应继续追踪与在线学生需求和观点相关的趋势,并扩展性别描述,超越二元分类。

Gender Differences in Online Learning: Insights from recent graduates
How might the online learning experience, and the support required for success, differ for men and women? New survey research captures insights from 505 participants, including 295 women, who graduated from online programs between 2015 and 2020. This article provides an overview of the characteristics of online students, highlighting the challenges female students face and considerations for supporting their success. Differences in demographic characteristics across gender were found in the areas of degree level and academic major, income, age, and ethnic diversity. More men chose computer and information sciences majors, while more women were in healthcare and education. Female students were also younger and at lower income levels than their male counterparts when they were enrolled in their online programs. And while the majority of study participants were White, women represented more ethnic diversity than men. Recommendations include the review and revision of curricula and support programs with specific learner characteristics in mind, addressing potential biases with culturally responsive strategies leading to greater representation. Future research should continue to track trends related to online student needs and perspectives and expand descriptions of gender beyond binary categories.
