Much of the research on this issue focuses on what deters women from entering the field of computer science. Knowledge of the similarities and differences in what attracts students will allow colleges and universities to develop new, proactive approaches for addressing the gender disparity in their computer science (CS) programs. The authors' data were collected from thirty-one focus groups with a total of 182 undergraduate computer science majors. The focus groups were conducted by the principal investigator, J. McGrath Cohoon, or by trained and supervised graduate students. The focus groups were divided in all but one case into exclusively male or exclusively female groups of students. The average number of participants in a focus group was six, but the group sizes ranged from one, in which case a semi- structured interview was conducted, to eighteen. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies is the property of University of Nebraska Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
