Women into Computing: Selected Papers 1988-1990 - 13 Angebote vergleichen

Lieferung aus: Japan, Lagernd, zzgl. Versandkosten.
This book contains the majority of the papers presented at the 1990 Women into Computing Conference, together with selected papers from the 1989 and 1988 Conferences. In 1988, the main theme running through the Conference was that of dismay at the low number of women taking computing courses or following computing careers. The 1989 Conference was concerned solely with workshops for schoolgirls and the 1990 Conference concentrated on strategies rather than an assessment of the situation. As editors, we set as our task to make a selection of papers presenting the overall picture in 1990. We found that many of the issues discussed in 1988 are still a cause for concern in 1990, but that strategies to improve the situation are many and varied. Section I contains speeches from the invited speakers and needs little introduction. Section II contains papers covering so me attitudes and issues of concern, ranging from the specific (Gill Russell on child care and Laurie Keller on hacker mentality) through to broader aspects of gender inequality (the papers of Flis Henwood, Margaret Bruce and Alison Adam, and Lyn Bryant). Susan Jones takes a look at the reasons why we should want to see more women in computing, whilst Gillian Lovegrove and Wendy Hall present a more general paper on school and higher education.

This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Neuware - This book contains a selection of papers from the Women into Computing (WiC) Conferences which have been held over the last three years: major national conferences were held in 1988 and 1990, and a smaller conference on the subject of organising workshops for schoolgirls was held in 1989. The papers cover a variety of issues, ranging from the discussion of attitudes of girls at school, the management of classes and limited resources, making links between schools and industry, and organising workshops for schoolgirls, through to the discussion of courses for women returners and examples of models of cooperation between industry and schools. Women into Computing is an active working group, which was formed in 1987 to encourage more women into the field of computing. It focusses on promoting interest at school, further, higher and continuing education levels with the longer term aim of increasing the numbers of women with fulfilling careers in technology-related areas. The skills shortage is already a serious one and demographic changes mean that industry will, over the next decade, pay increasing attention to short term and long term measures to overcome the crisis. This book presents not only ideas but also lessons gained by experience and provides valuable reading for educators, employers and researchers.This book contains the majority of the papers presented at the 1990 Women into Computing Conference, together with selected papers from the 1989 and 1988 Conferences.
