Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 Gender & IT Education The Importance of Mentors Faculty and Student Experiences in Mentoring and Being Mentored Christine Ogan and Jean Robinson

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 Data Sets Used Web survey of undergraduate and graduate students Telephone survey using faculty and administrator respondents

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 Overall findings from Faculty Survey Most faculty reported having mentors as students The gender of the mentor most often was the same (75.8%) as was the race (73.8%). However, women less likely to identify a current mentor as someone of same gender. Faculty in applied fields more likely to have mentors today/Also more likely to have had mentors as graduate students

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 What Mentors do for Faculty 50-70% Report Experiencing this Help (Kram’s dimensions) Inform them about campus conditions Inform them about work environment Inform them about opportunities for new projects Provide psychological support (women report getting significantly more help here)

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 Networking Experiences 87.1% say they have a network to turn to. Relationship between gender of the faculty member and gender of the network (r=.29) Networks are somewhat/very important in advancing careers (91.9%) The longer a faculty member spends in a unit, the less likely he/she will have a network (r=.16).

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 Other Important Findings Faculty in applied fields feel their values are more similar to others in their field than do computer scientist faculty. The longer women had been in the field, the closer they felt their values were to those of the field (r=.19). Men reported more socializing than did women. The longer women were in the field the more likely they rejected the existence of an “in group” in their unit.

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 Conclusions/Recommendations Mentoring would be a stronger predictor of belonging and satisfaction if there were more mentoring going on. Applied Units were more female friendly in their practice of mentoring Mentoring not adequately rewarded in IT higher education.

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 Unsolicited Student Comments “Most computer science classes are so large that there is little (if any at all) teacher-student interaction, which is unfortunate. Everyone is treated fairly, but learning is very impersonal.” “I found the faculty in computer science very unhelpful. I am switching my major to mathematics because of that.”

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 And more comments... “If it wasn’t for a certain faculty member, I would not be where I am today or even headed in the direction I am today.” The department of informatics at this student’s school “tries to hard to make a name for itself” and in doing so is “biased towards the top students.” “I realized that going to a big ten school and majoring in computer science makes personal interactions with professors just about impossible. It turns out personalityless programmers.”

Gender & IT Education Gender and IT Education Conference, Indiana University, 2007 And finally.... “My school doesn’t have mentorship programs as far as I know. Reading those questions made me realize that the only person who cares about me getting a decent education is me.”
