- Investigating Gender Issues in an Undergraduate Computing Program Marília Abrahão Amaral Maria Claudia Figueiredo Pereira Emer Silvia Amélia Bim Mariangela Gomes Setti Marcelo Mikosz Gonçalves Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Gender computing university social minorities It is possible to see that still today, since computing is considered a demanding and difficult science to understand, it is mostly dominated by men. This reflects the culture that considers women unfit to handle complex tasks. Also, it is possible to observe that the entry of social minorities in the area programs, such as women, is declining. This article describes a survey conducted to explore gender issues in an undergraduate course in Computer Science. The survey mapped out the path of female students to investigate their motivations, difficulties, facilities and expectations regarding the program. Based on interviews, a qualitative analysis indicated the need for actions to discuss gender issues and encourage women’s participation in Computer Sciences. 2017 artículo científico 0104-026X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=38151031020 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=381 Revista Estudos Feministas application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Revista Estudos Feministas (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.25
