Gender approach and use of ICT in education

Abstract

Information systems are now an integral part of corporate management techniques. As information and communication technologies, they are social objects whose acceptance or rejection strongly depends on the learning context. The aim of our research is to clarify the main user behavior factors related to information and communication technologies for education, taking into account the gender approach in the specific context of higher education.

This paper reviews theoretical issues related to gender and ICT in light of views developed by feminist studies.
