“…GenderMag It is a software inspection method to solve gender biases in software developers' problem-solving experiences [SLR Burnett et al 2018)]. Previous research shows that GenderMag is very effective in identifying gender-inclusiveness issues when evaluating technologies [SLR Hill et al 2016;Vorvoreanu et al 2019;Burnett et al 2017)] and was found a powerful tool to uncover potential gender biases in system functionality and interface design [SLR (Cunningham et al 2016)].…”

Perceived diversity in software engineering: a systematic literature review

We define perceived diversity as the diversity factors that individuals are born with. Perceived diversity in Software Engineering has been recognized as a high-value team property and companies are willing to increase their efforts to create more diverse work teams. The current diversity state-of-the-art shows that gender diversity studies have been growing during the past decade, and they have shown the benefits of including women in software teams. However, less is known about how other perceived diversity factors such as race, nationality, disability, and age of developers are related to Software Engineering. Through a systematic literature review, we aim to clarify the research area concerned with perceived diversity in Software Engineering. Our goal is to identify (1) what issues have been studied and what results have been reported; (2) what methods, tools, models, and processes have been proposed to help perceived diversity issues; and (3) what limitations have been reported when studying perceived diversity in Software Engineering. Furthermore, our ultimate goal is to identify gaps in the current literature and create a call for future action in perceived diversity in Software Engineering. Our results indicate that the individual studies have typically had a gender diversity perspective focusing on showing gender bias or gender differences instead of developing methods and tools to mitigate the gender diversity issues faced in SE. Moreover, perceived diversity aspects related to SE participants' race, age, and disability need to be further analyzed in Software Engineering research. From our systematic literature review, we conclude that researchers need to consider a wider set of perceived diversity aspects for future research.

“…Empirical studies have found GenderMag to be effective at identifying inclusivity bugs and at pointing toward effective fixes [12,14,22,35,61,69,80]. However, in the realm of CS education, the only work relating to GenderMag is Oleson et al 's Action Research investigation into how to teach GenderMag in face-to-face university CS classes [59].…”

Motivation: Although CS Education researchers and practitioners have found ways to improve CS classroom inclusivity, few researchers have considered inclusivity of online CS education. We are interested in two such improvements in online CS educationbesides being inclusive to each other, online CS students also need to be able to create inclusive technology. Objectives: We have begun developing a new approach that we term "embedded inclusive design" to address both of these goals. The essence of the approach is to integrate elements of inclusive design education into mainstream CS coursework. This paper presents three curricular interventions we have developed in this approach and empirically investigates their efficacy in online CS post-baccalaureate education. Our research questions were: How do these three curricular interventions affect (RQ1) the climate among online CS students and (RQ2) how online CS students honor the diversity of their users in the tech they create?Method: To answer these research questions, we implemented the curricular interventions in four asynchronous online CS classes across two CS courses within Oregon State University's Ecampus and conducted an action research study to investigate the impacts. Results: Online CS students who experienced these interventions reported feeling more included in the major than they had before, reported positive impacts on their team dynamics, increased their interest in accommodating diverse users, and created more inclusive technology designs than they had before. Discussion: These results provide encouraging evidence that embedding elements of inclusive design into mainstream CS coursework, via the interventions presented here, can increase both online CS students' inclusivity toward one another and the inclusivity of the technology these future CS practitioners create.

“…Perhaps the most developed formalized method so far for considering gender in technology design is the GenderMag method [36,37,97]. It consists of a specialized cognitive walkthrough and a set of personas structured around five underlying gender differences in technology use (see Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6), offering HCI designers step-by-step how-to guides and ready-to-use forms to uncover and document gender barriers in existing systems [33,56,144,182]. Recent work has also shown its promise as a design aid [211] (Figure 4.1).…”

Previous research has investigated gender and its implications for HCI. We consider inclusive design of technology whatever the gender of its users of particular importance. This conceptual review provides an overview of the motivations that have driven research in gender and inclusive HCI design. We review the empirical evidence for the impact of gender in thinking and behavior which underlies HCI research and design. We then present how HCI design might inadvertently embed and perpetuate gender stereotypes. We then present current HCI design approaches to tackle gender stereotypes and to produce gender-inclusive designs. We conclude by discussing possible future directions in this area.
