Abstract

Iako STEM, preciznije ICT sektor, robotika i elektrotehnika za žensku populaciju nisu više strani pojmovi i sve više žena odlučuje se upravo za taj pravac u karijeri, znatna razlika u interesima među spolovima i dalje je prisutna. Kako bi se pronašao uzrok, a time i potencijalno rješenje, u ovom radu ispitana su četiri cilja: utvrditi u kojoj mjeri spol utječe na interese iz tri školska predmeta (matematike, informatike i tehničke kulture), utvrditi utjecaj najuže obitelji na stavove učenika iz navedena tri predmeta, provjeriti postoje li stereotipi prema spolu među učenicima kada se radi o programiranju te kako ženska figura u obitelji utječe na njihove stavove, odnosno umanjuje li stereotipe ukoliko postoje, provjeriti postoje li stereotipi prema spolu među učenicima kada se radi o robotici te kako ženska figura u obitelji utječe na njihove stavove, odnosno umanjuje li stereotipe ukoliko postoje. U radu je provjereno i kako razmišljaju dječaci, a kako djevojčice kada se radi o konfiguracijama robota, kakvi ih oblici više privlače, odnosno odbijaju, kako bi se dobila okvirna slika za buduće radionice kojima je cilj privući što više djevojčica i potaknuti njihov interes.

Abstract (english)

Even though STEM, more precisely the ICT sector, robotics, and electrical engineering are no longer unknown for the female population and more and more women are choosing this path in their careers, a significant difference in interests between the sexes is still present. To find the cause, and thus the potential solution, this paper examines four goals: the influence of gender on interests for three school subjects
(mathematics, informatics, and technical culture), to determine the influence of the family on students' attitudes from these three school subjects, to check whether there are gender stereotypes among students when it comes to programming and how the female figure in the family affects their attitudes, or whether it reduces stereotypes if there are any, to check whether there are gender stereotypes among students when it comes to robotics and how the female figure in the family influences their attitudes, whether it diminishes stereotypes if they exist. The paper also examines how boys and girls think about robot configurations, what shapes attract or repel them more, to get a rough picture for future workshops aimed at attracting as many girls as possible and stimulating their interest.
