Resumo: Data on the educational system and on the business environment suggest that female representation in ITC-related studies and careers continues to be in a minority. Moreover, they show that in the prevailing technological paradigm, men create and manage digital innovations and women are users of such innovations, thus the risk of a growing gender gap persists, since ITCs underpin communication, science, culture, economy and innovation in this digital society, both ubiquitously and globally.The hypothesis of gender-differential socialisation is scientifically plausible as an explanation of women's lower interest in this area of knowledge from an early age. This study analyses gender barriers to technological education, their underlying synergies and the role of education for women and men to share the responsibility of being active agents in ITCs' architecture and development.

Ademas señalan que en el paradigma tecnologico imperante los hombres crean y gestionan la innovacion digital y las mujeres son usuarias de dichas innovaciones, persistiendo el riesgo de que aumente la brecha de genero. Recordemos que las TIC sustentan la comunicacion, la ciencia, la cultura, la economia y la innovacion, de forma ubicua y a nivel planetario.La hipotesis de la socializacion diferencial de los generos goza de plausibilidad cientifica como explicacion del menor interes de las mujeres por este ambito del saber desde edades tempranas. Este estudio analiza las barreras de genero en la educacion tecnologica, las sinergias que las sostienen y el papel de la educacion para que mujeres y hombres sean corresponsablemente agentes activos de la creacion y desarrollo de las TIC.Os dados do sistema educativo e os da area empresarial indicam que a presenca feminina nos estudos e profissoes relacionadas com as TIC continua a ser minoritaria. Alem disso, assinalam que no paradigma tecnologico imperante os homens criam e gerem a inovação digital e as mulheres sao utilizadoras dessas inovacoes, persistindo o risco de aumentar a exclusao de genero, pois na sociedade digital as TIC sustentam a comunicação, a ciencia, a cultura, a economia e a inovação, de maneira ubiqua e a nivel planetario.A hipotese da socialização diferencial dos generos goza de plausibilidade cientifica como explicação do menor interesse das mulheres nesta area do saber desde idades precoces. Este estudo analisa as barreiras de genero na educação tecnologica, as sinergias que as sustentam e o papel da educação para que mulheres e homens sejam responsavelmente agentes ativos da arquitetura e desenvolvimento das TIC. Fundação CesgranrioJimenez, Rafael Gonzalez-PalenciaFernandez, Carmen Jimenez2016-08-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://revistas.cesgranrio.org.br/index.php/ensaio/article/view/86410.1590/S0104-403620160003000010Ensaio: Avaliação e Políticas Públicas em Educação; v. 24, n. 92 (2016): Revista Ensaio Jul./Set.; 743-7711809-44650104-4036reponame:Ensaio (Rio de Janeiro.
