- W16766856 abstract "This research is one of a series that attempt to unveil the various reasons why the numbers of women participating in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) education and careers in South Africa is significantly low compared to that of their male counterparts. The study is meant to establish if there exists a relationship between learning styles of ICT professionals and the choice of an ICT career and if there are visible differences in learning styles between men and women in ICT careers. One learning style each from the different categories of learning styles, that is, perceptual, cognitive information processing, personality type and social interactions is identified as an assessment instrument. Howard Gardner‟s Multiple Intelligences instrument, Kolb‟s Learning Style as represented by the Honey and Mumford questionnaire, Myers Briggs Personality Test and Gracha-Reichmann‟s instrument fall into the different learning styles categories, respectively. It is hoped that this approach will contribute towards the determination of the numbers of females that are likely to take up careers in ICT, considering the vast numbers of factors that contribute towards choices of any career. The investigation was conducted in the form of a case study at South Africa's Advanced African Institute for ICTs the Meraka Institute. This research was both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The research shows there is no significance of learning styles as pertaining to gender in the ICT industry. The differences in learning styles among females and males are minimal and have no significant impact on ICT career choices. Therefore there are some other issues demanding of the government in enticing women into ICT careers than the issue of learning styles. The research concluded that there exists an identified pattern of both males and females in ICT careers being logical-mathematical. The interpersonal trait in this field is associated with females more though. Researchers and programmers are more likely to be logical mathematical than program managers, for instance. Both males and females are equally likely to be any of reflectors and pragmatists but this trait is more visible among programmers and researchers. Both males and females in the ICT environment show traits of being collaborative, independent, competitive and participant. Women are more collaborative than men, although in other traits the differences are minimal." @default.
