“…Despite this finding, it is clear from other research that it is possible for girls to work out relatively comfortable ways to participate and learn in mathematics classes, from kindergarten through graduate school (Rodd & Bartholomew, 2006). That being said, in contexts where mathematical success is associated with masculinity, girls must either construct ways to be mathematically successful while also maintaining conventional femininity (Mendick, 2005), or construct more masculine identifications.…”

“…Often, those who do not embody these privileged ideals are positioned as deficient and difficult to teach, and report that their teachers do not seem to care whether they learn mathematics (Walker, 2006). In addition, while a gendered achievement gap has greatly diminished in K-12 schools (Tate, 1997), many students still report that mathematics classrooms are masculinedominated spaces (Mendick, 2005;Rodd & Bartholomew, 2006).…”

“…Este caso resulta paradigmático pues refleja a la perfección un hecho que recoge la literatura pedagógica al respecto. A saber, mientras las chicas suelen autoeliminarse de estas opciones académicas cuando consideraran que su rendimiento no es suficiente, sin embargo, este comportamiento no se aprecia en los varones quienes optan por los estudios tecnológicos sin prestar tanta atención al rendimiento obtenido hasta el momento en dichas materias, mostrando más seguridad sobre su habilidad y talento mientras por su lado las chicas atribuirían estas dificultades a su incapacidad (Volman, 1997;Erwin y Maurutto, 1998;Blättel -Mink, 2002;Guimond y Roussel, 2001;Rodd y Bartholomew, 2006;Zeldin, Britner y Pajares, 2008;Rodríguez, Peña, García -Pérez, 2016). Éste es precisamente uno de los ámbitos que debe ser explorado y trabajado en los programas de orientación profesional desarrollados con los adolescentes.…”

“…Investigaciones realizadas en Gran Bretaña muestran que las mujeres están infrarrepresentadas en las carreras de ciencias físicas y matemáticas, así como en los estudios tecnológicos y de ingeniería (Colley y Comber, 2003;Durndell y Haag, 2002;Rodd y Bartholomew, 2006). Es más, respecto a los estudios de informática se observa que el número de mujeres decrece con el paso del tiempo (Clegg, Trayhurn y Johnson, 2000).…”
