Abstract Information and communication technology (ICT) literacy represents an essential skill for adolescents to efficiently participate in a modern society. Previous research reported conflicting findings regarding gender differences in ICT literacy. Therefore, the aim of the present study was the exploration of cross-sectional and longitudinal gender effects on ICT literacy across a period of three years among a sample of German 15-year-olds (N = 13,943). The results showed that ICT literacy increased across the study period. Although gender differences in ICT literacy were negligible at age 15, small differences in favor of boys emerged at age 18. In contrast, gender differences in ICT confidence favored boys at age 15 but did not change subsequently. Hypotheses with regard to moderating effects of gender role orientations were not supported. Overall, the study found only small differences in ICT literacy between boys and girls. The small size of the observed effect does not warrant alarming conclusions regarding increasing disadvantages in ICT literacy for girls.

青少年中期信息和通信技术(ICT)素养的性别差异发展

摘要 信息和通信技术 (ICT) 素养是青少年有效参与现代社会的一项基本技能。先前的研究报告了关于 ICT 素养的性别差异的相互矛盾的发现。因此,本研究的目的是在三年的德国 15 岁样本(N = 13,943)中探索跨部门和纵向性别对 ICT 素养的影响。结果表明,ICT 素养在整个研究期间都有所提高。尽管 15 岁时在 ICT 素养方面的性别差异可以忽略不计,但在 18 岁时出现了对男孩有利的微小差异。相反,信息通信技术信心的性别差异在 15 岁时对男孩有利,但随后没有改变。不支持关于性别角色取向的调节作用的假设。总体而言,该研究发现男孩和女孩在 ICT 素养方面只有很小的差异。观察到的影响的小规模并不能保证关于女孩在信息通信技术扫盲方面的劣势越来越大的令人震惊的结论。
