Influence of Gender on Computational Thinking

This study aims to analyze the influence of computational thinking in relation to gender, as it is important to know the reasons why today the presence of women in careers in computer engineering is becoming increasingly scarce. This article presents an analysis of the skills and strategies that are related to computational thinking that took place in the national competition of educational robotics FLL (First Lego League). It was made a qualitative, selective and correlational study stratified random probability sampling. The results confirmed that there is a bigger presence of men than women and a clear gender differentiation. However, according to the information processing and learning, prevails the equality.
