And Gender

The present study explored teachers’ role in the gender digital divide by examining their beliefs regarding the educational integration of information and com - munication technologies (ICTs) and their views about ICTs and gender. Partici - pants were 164 secondary education teachers who responded to a survey. Questions focused on teachers’personal and educational ICT use, their computer self-efficacy, their beliefs about the educational uses that of ICTs and their views on issues of gender and information technology. The results showed thatteachers tended to think that boys were more capable in computers and that the study of computing was more appropriate for boys. Female teachers reported lower personal and educational ICT use as well aslower self-efficacy regarding the use of ICTs in the classroom compared to male teachers. However, in female teachers, teaching experience correlated negatively with both self-efficacy and gender stereotypes.This indicates that young female teachers may present a positive role model to their female students as they appear to be more confident to use ICTs in the classroom and to hold non-stereotyped views about gender and technology.

Significant Life Experiences

AbstractThis study provides evidence of the significant life experiences (SLEs), which influence advocates for nonhuman animals to develop sensitivity toward animals. Thirty-nine humane educators participated in an online survey. Findings indicate that having a relationship with a companion animal in adulthood is the most important life experience, followed by having a childhood experience with an animal, being exposed to a positive role model in childhood, and reading about animals and animal issues. The study did not find age and gender related differences in life experiences. This paper compares the results from this study to two previous studies. The first study examined the SLEs of animal advocate leaders through analysis of autobiographies, biographies, oral histories, and written interviews. The second study examined the SLEs of animal rescuers through an open-ended survey. This paper discusses similarities and differences among these three groups.

Demographic Background

This study looked at tertiary (i.e. undergraduate /a four-year degree) students' information and communication technology (ICT) self-efficacy beliefs and their level in use of certain common programmes at a newly established (i.e. 2007) university in Turkey in the spring of 2012. The study examined the tertiary students' (a) demographic background, (b) their ICT self-efficacy beliefs and (c) their ICT-using level in certain common programs. The students at three different departments were given the questionnaires to complete. 363 participants completed them. The study was mostly quantitative and partly qualitative. The quantitative results were analysed with SPSS (i.e. descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Independent Samples Test). The qualitative data were analysed by examining the participants' responses gathered from the open-ended questions and focussing on the shared themes among the responses. The results revealed that the participants were ICT literate and users. They had positive ICT self-efficacy beliefs and their level in certain programs was good. There were also statistical differences between (a) their ICT self-efficacy beliefs and (b) ICT level in certain common programs in terms of different independent variables (i.e. the length of ICT-use, the place of ICT-access, the frequency of ICT-use, the type of the course they were attending, and gender). The findings are consistent with models and theories of technology engagement which recognise facilitating or inhibiting conditions. The implications are (1) to provide (free) full-access to ICT in terms of efficient resources and technology availability, (2) to provide (efficient) ICT courses and (3) to integrate ICT into teaching/learning.

Aim: Vaccination is one of the most effective and safest preventive health services in the fight against COVID-19. Many people in society have hesitations about the COVID-19 vaccines. We evaluated the vaccination participation rates of healthcare workers to be a positive role model for society. Methods: Between 14 January 2021 and 15 April 2021, 2637 healthcare workers who received 2 doses of 0.5 ml CoronaVac vaccine with 4 weeks intervals were classified as occupation, unit, marital status, age, and gender. Registered side effects were evaluated. Results: It was observed that 65.6% of the healthcare workers were vaccinated and 2.4% (n=62) of the vaccinated workers developed side effects. The mean age of the vaccinated personnel was 34.37±10.04 years. 59.8% (n=1577) of the vaccinated personnel were male and 53.6% (n=1413) were single. The occupational group with the highest vaccination rate was doctors with 78% (n=658). The most common side effect was myalgia in 45.2% (n=28), followed by headache with 38.7% (n=24). About half of those who developed side effects had only one side effect. Conclusion: It was concluded that COVID-19 vaccination differs according to age, gender, and role in the hospital, with the highest vaccination rate among physicians. The vaccination status of healthcare workers who are heavily affected by COVID-19 will positively affect society. Keywords: health personnel, COVID-19, vaccination

Three cross-sectional studies examined stability and change in personality over the course of life by measuring the relations linking age to personality traits, self-efficacy beliefs, values, and well-being in large samples of Italian male and female participants. In each study, relations between personality and age were examined across several age groups ranging from young adulthood to old age. In each study, personality constructs were first examined in terms of mean group differences accrued by age and gender and then in terms of their correlations with age across gender and age groups. Furthermore, personality-age correlations were also calculated, controlling for the demographic effects accrued by marital status, education, and health. Findings strongly indicated that personality functioning does not necessarily decline in the later years of life, and that decline is more pronounced in males than it is in females across several personality dimensions ranging from personality traits, such as emotional stability, to self-efficacy beliefs, such as efficacy in dealing with negative affect. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for personality theory and social policy.

Stem Interest

BackgroundThe underrepresentation of women in STEM fields is a pervasive global issue. Despite evidence casting doubt on the preconceived notions that males outperform females in these domains, gender stereotype beliefs persist and have been highlighted as potential cultural barriers limiting females opportunities. Gender stereotype and ability beliefs emerge in early childhood and recent evidence has highlighted early childhood education as a promising period for the cultivation of positive STEM dispositions. AimsThis study investigated gender stereotype beliefs, mathematical self-beliefs and STEM attitudes among a sample of pre-service early childhood teachers to assess the existence of stereotype endorsements and predictive relationships with STEM interests.SampleParticipants were pre-service early childhood teacher (N=74), mean age 21.17 years, 4 males and 70 femalesMethodsElectronic surveys utilising a series of pre-established scales, measuring gender stereotype bias from ability and cultural perspectives, mathematical self-belief variables (self-efficacy, self-concept, anxiety), and interest in STEM, were distributed. ResultsRegression analysis reveal previous level of mathematical study at secondary school, social persuasions as a sources of self-efficacy and gender stereotype endorsements as significant predictors of overall attitude to STEMConclusions Findings suggest the importance of previous school experience and social influences as well as participants’ gender stereotype endorsements in influencing interest in STEM. These data are discussed in light of implications for teachers; future practice and teacher education
