Diversifying computing teaching
Jennifer Ridgeway, Robert John Walters, Reena Pau · 2013
It is an ongoing industrial concern that there is an under-representation of women in the field of Computer Science. The "shrinking pipeline" [1] illustrates that this problem occurs at every stage of the educational process. The recently launched UK ICT curriculum will give students a better understanding of Computer Science, and as such they will need accurate information surrounding the subject. Teachers will also need assistance with the change in order to support gender friendly teaching.
