Firstly gender bias is looked at in detail with regards to why girls, in particular, are less exposed to the necessary construction play that builds technological capability and the effect that this has on girls. The second part of this paper reviews the literature surrounding classroom teachers’ pedagogies and practices to suggest how gender bias can be reduced in technology.enItems in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
