Gender HCI: Results To Date Regarding Issues in Problem-Solving Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are investigating gender HCI issues in problemsolving software, using quantitative and qualitative empirical methods. Our research approach uses formative work to understand the existence and attributes of gender-relevant design features, based on which we then design and implement new features in our research prototype. Finally, we perform summative empirical work to evaluate effectiveness.

Gender HCI issues in end-user software engineering
There has been considerable work in empowering end users to problem solve by writing their own programs, and as a result, end users are indeed doing so. In fact, based on U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Census figures, the number of end-user programmers is projected to reach 55 million by 2005 in the U.S. alone. Unfortunately, evidence from the spreadsheet paradigm, the most widely used end-u...
متن کاملComparing the effect of teaching based on problem solving method versus lecturing method regarding first diet therapy course for students of nutritional science
Introduction: while learning of the first diet therapy course is one of the most important issues, its teaching methods are important too. We aimed to compare the effect of teaching based on problem solving method versus lecturing method regarding first diet therapy course for students of nutritional science. Methods: This semi-experimental study was undertaken on 49 students of nutritional s...
متن کاملMining Qualitative Behavioral Data from Quantitative Data: A Case Study from the Gender HCI Project
Recent research has shown that gender differences exist that influence the ways that males and females work with problem-solving software. These gender differences may put females at a disadvantage in competing for jobs requiring these skills. Earlier research has shown the existence of gender differences in confidence that affects feature usage and adoption; however these findings have raised ...
متن کاملبررسی و مدلسازی اثر ناپایداری در دمای بالا و بایاس منفی (NBTI) و تزریق حاملهای پرانرژی (HCI) در افزارههای چندگیتی نانومتری
In this paper, analytical models for NBTI induced degradation in a P-channel triple gate MOSFET and HCI induced degradation in an N-channel bulk FinFET are presented, through solving the Reaction-Diffusion equations multi-dimensionally considering geometry dependence of this framework of equations. The new models are compared to measurement data and gives excellent results. The results interpre...
متن کاملSteering programs via time travel
Despite years of research into human computer interaction (HCI), the environments programmers must use for problem-solving today—with separate modes and tools for writing, compiling, testing, visualizing, and debugging— derive their basic structure from historical accident, and take little advantage of HCI research into the cognitive issues of programming. Neglecting these issues is an impedime...
