摘要

According to the literature reviewed, research comprehensively examined gender difference issues in computer education were rarely seen. Most of the studies done focused on either a single view point or specific factors. Therefore, we synthesized and evaluated all the studies reviewed, tried to obtain a clearer picture for gender differences in computer education.The results showed that gender difference issues in computer education investigated including computer self-efficacy, internet self-efficacy, attitude toward computer, experience in computing, computer usage, computer anxiety, computer literacy, motivation of using/learning computer, self-image, performance in computing, owning a computer as well as support and encouragement from the society. Among all these issues, computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and attitudes toward computer were investigated most frequently.The test of binomial distribution also showed that computer self-efficacy (p＜0.001), computer anxiety (p＜0.001), attitudes toward computer (p＜0.01) and computer literacy (p＜0.05) were found to have significant gender differences. Based on the results found, suggestions to lessen gender differences on these issues were given.
