Abstract | In the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, gender imbalance
has been commonplace. There are models that examined gender differences in programming
performance and yet rarely have these models included the variables learning styles and
programming environment as mediators between gender and programming performance.
Drawing on the pertinent literature about gender, learning styles, programming environment,
and programming performance, this paper argues the importance of gender, learning styles,
and programming environment in modeling programming performance. It further proposes
and discusses a gender-focused performance model based on the three variables. We
encourage further research effort to test this parsimonious model empirically in an authentic
learning context. |
