of Memphis. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Self-Efficacy Study in Computing Among College FreshmenAbstractComputer Science (CS) is not introduced equitably across K-12 schools, yet it is increasingly anecessary skill regardless of vocational pathway. Co-curricular activities such as summer campshave become a popular way to introduce CS to K-12 students. Researchers at our institution,through partnerships with other educational institutions and practitioners, developed atransdisciplinary approach of teaching CS in K-12 informal learning environments. Building onpositive results in the K-12 informal learning environment, researchers are exploring theapplicability of the transdisciplinary

While experience with computers games has been shown tobe an important predictor of men’s interest in computer related fields40, this is not the case forour women respondents. Other research has shown, however, that experience with computerprogramming may be an important predictor of self-efficacy and success in a computer field forwomen. Learning a programming language is significantly associated for women with anincreased sense of computer competence28, 42.

Page 12.1228.3Another persistent factor is that females generally have a lack of self-confidence in mathematicsand CS. Studies show that at every level, from middle school to the doctorate, women aregenerally less confident in their mathematical and computer science abilities than men.10,11 Evenfemales with grades equal to or better than those of their male peers still have less confidence.Since programming seems to be easier for men, women doubt their ability to learn computerscience. Women begin to think learning CS takes “innate talent” and no amount of hard workwill pay off, and so female attrition from a CS major is more than twice the rate of maleattrition.12An even deeper issue is the traditional concept of the ‘women’s role’ in society
