Technology Education and Educational Technology: Two Fields, Very Different Representations of Women

Short Description:

The fields of educational technology and technology education have arisen out of differing  socio-historical and cultural contexts, which has impacted the gender parity of each domain differently. This research study will compare the characteristics of these two types of programs as they relate to gender parity.   This analysis will offer insight into the cultural-historical perspectives that resulted in different gender parity, and recommend strategies for attracting women across technology-oriented domains.
