Description

During last 30 years, hundreds of different development projects have been made all over the world.

In Finland, gender equity in technology education has been one main theme since 1970.

The results of this research show some positive signs in girls' attitudes towards technology.

However, the results in psychomotor and cognitive areas are not as promising and it can be concluded that an ideal solution in Finnish technology education has not been found.

At any rate, the problem of inequality in the field of technology seems to be far more complicated than was previously thought.

Technology education is not only responsible for solving such a complex problem, but society as a whole.
