“…Group A students enrolled in the C1 Course were asked to select their preferred type of learning materials, while the course instructor assigned the type of materials delivered to Group B. The opposite practice was used for the C2 course, in which group B students chose learning materials while group A students were assigned the delivered materials by the instructor [ 26 ]. The educational content for each course was provided in three different e-learning methods and corresponding materials, which are summarized briefly below: Online video conferencing (VC): The professor provided the lesson in real-time, and learners were able to participate directly.…”

STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education benefits both individuals and society. It supports individuals by increasing their critical-thinking skills, encouraging creativity, as well as providing a basis for new inventions. The underrepresentation of women in STEM is a complex issue with various causes and different approaches of addressing it, where most likely gender differences are caused by desires and choice rather than abilities and performance. This paper explores differences in online and traditional STEM learning based on gender. It examines in detail recently identified patterns of women’s success, their access to STEM online courses, and their overall course experience during such courses. We analyzed results from a case study in which students were enrolled for one semester in two STEM online courses and completed questionnaires about their character traits and learning styles and how they relate to academic performance. The objective of our research is to analyze academic success during traditional classes and online classes, with focus on gender and identify how character traits and learning styles correlate with gender in online classes. The main outcome of our research is that female students, which study in the field of STEM in particular computer science, are trustworthy and autonomous students who can outperform their male counterparts during traditional courses, where during online courses male students still exceed slightly female students. The trait of Consciousness is a success predictor regardless of gender and learning environment, while the trait of Neuroticism has negative impact the traditional learning environment, Extraversion shows negative impact in online learning. Learning styles show gender differences, where female students prefer the style of read/write while male students favor kinesthetic.

“…An underrepresentation is evident at an early age. Multiple reasons and approaches for solving the problem of women’s underrepresentation in STEM are needed [ 26 ]. New research indicates that gender gaps in attitudes and choices rather than skill and success are the most plausible reasons for this underrepresentation [ 27 ].…”
