一句话:通过调查与访谈研究北欧IT学院中女性选择IT职业的动机、学术经历及其对职业决策的影响。
软件工程仍由男性主导,尽管有吸引和留住女性的努力,许多人仍因机会有限、不公平待遇和职场文化而离开。大学阶段的选择与经历对职业抱负具有塑造作用,因此理解女性为何选择IT职业、在学术生活中的体验以及这些体验如何影响职业决策,对解决行业代表性不足的根源很重要。该研究在北欧背景下,对IT学院本科项目开展问卷调查,并仅对软件工程专业的女性进行访谈,以结合总体经历与SE小样本的深入探索。摘要未报告具体结果,但明确了研究目标与方法。
Software engineering remains male-dominated despite efforts to attract and retain women. Many leave the field due to limited opportunities, unfair treatment, and challenging workplace cultures. Examining university life and choices is important, as these formative experiences shape career aspirations and can help address the root causes of underrepresentation in the industry. The study aimed to deepen understanding of the motivations behind women's choice of a career in IT, their experiences in academic life, and how these experiences influence their career decisions, all within a Nordic context. We used a combination of surveys in the bachelor programmes in the IT faculty and interviews with only women from software engineering (SE) to provide a comprehensive view of population experiences and a closer exploration of the experiences of a smaller sample with a focus on SE.
