La mujer y la investigación en tecnología educativa. Análisis de su presencia en la autoría de artículos científicos

Abstract

The role of women in the academic field of Technology has gradually increased in the last decades. Proof of this argument is the publication of research and theoretical work carried out by women. This paper acknowledges the presence of women in published papers in the journal Pixel-Bit, Revista de Medios de Comunicacion, throughout its 38 numbers. To this aim, we have employed a categorical system, previously designed and validated by experts in ICT and Research Methodology. This system was used to encode the already published papers. Then, we conducted a descriptive analysis: monovariant and relational. The analysis of results shows a constant presence of female authors in reflection and research papers. We have also found out that there is a high percentage of women-written papers dealing with ICT use in higher education contexts, followed by teacher training and e-learning.
