A note on performance and satisfaction of female students studying computer science: Note on performance and satisfaction of female students studying computer science

Abstract

In this paper some gender related results are presented. They are taken from a survey conducted at Department of Mathematics and Informatics, Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad. These results explore several interesting points regarding the female undergraduate students, such as: general success rate, professional confidence, interests and ambitions, level of satisfaction with the choice of studies, and attitudes and beliefs towards the gender issue. The analysis of a survey resulted in indicative statistical data, offering basis for some future work and discussion, towards the aim of narrowing the gender gap within the field of Computer Science.
