Young Girls and Scientific Careers: may a course on robotics change girls’ aspirations about their future? The ROBOESTATE project
This paper presents a study intended to investigate the effects on children’s career choices of the ROBOESTATE project, a summer camp aimed at introducing boys, but especially girls, to STEMs through educational robotics activities.
Our reflection focused mainly on two research questions: (RQ1) May
a course designed like ROBOESTATE encourage students, in particular female students, to pursue a STEM career? (RQ2) Did parents’ opinions about STEM careers for their daughters/sons change after ROBOESTATE, especially for those who saw STEM careers as not practicable and/or not desirable?
We conducted a quantitative and a qualitative analysis. Although the limited number of data collected during ROBOESTATE does not allow us to give a statistical significance to our results, we can say that ROBOESTATE-like courses increase boys’, and especially girls’, interest in STEM careers.
期刊介绍：
Qwerty is the commonly accepted name for the computer keyboard, comprising the first six letters of its top row. When typewriters were first introduced, the keys were arranged in alphabetical order. However this order meant that people typed too quickly such that the keys soon became entangled. To counter this, the keys were displayed in random order and typing speeds accordingly slowed down. In later years, despite the fact that the problem of speed had been completely overcome, the keyboard retained its random order. In our view, this represents an excellent metaphor for the entanglement of culture and technological tools. In actual fact, we regard computer-based technologies as cultural artefacts, representing different depths in the daily work and study activity of individuals, social groups, and institutions. We believe that different models of computer use and activity within online environments mediate social interaction. As such, the relationship between culture and technological tools is becoming more and more complex and now provides an opportunity for determining new models of cognitive, psychological, and social interaction. Qwerty hopes to be a place where such issues can be discussed and developed. The journal arises from a growing awareness of the need to develop research and reflection on the impact, effects and nature of technology use and, as such, is intended to be a genuinely cross-disciplinary forum. Qwerty wishes to provide a forum for discussion on the use of new technologies aimed at anyone interested in the use of technology in such fields as education, training, social and university research, including the cultural, social, pedagogical, psychological, economic, professional, ethical and aesthetical aspects of technology use.
