Abstract

This study explored gender differences in high school students when it comes to interacting with ICTs. The research was carried out with a sample of 351 students from public schoolsin Galicia (Spain). A questionnaire was applied in which measured aspects related to access, experience, frequency and use that students made, both of computers and the Internet. Scales were applied to evaluate computer self-efficacy, internet self-efficacy, attitudes towards the use of ICTs, and gender stereotypes. The results indicated differences between men and women in the use they make of Internet, more oriented to communication in women and more oriented to entertainment in men, as well as a greatertendency in men to perceive the computing more stereotyped, seeing it as part of domain male.
