seven factors that influence ict student achievement
In the process of establishing an audit of student achievement by gender as part of a Women in IT project, seven factors were identified that affect student success. These seven factors had minimal effect when they occurred in isolation within a unit of study, but certain combinations of factors created a learning environment that was detrimental to all students, and in other instances a learning environment that was particularly unfavourable for female students. The impact of these findings has resulted in a set of recommendations to improve the teaching of IT in universities in general.
