According to the literature, educational technologies present several learning benefits to promote online education. However, there are several associated challenges, and some studies illustrate the limitations in elaborating educational technologies, called Design limitations. This aspect is responsible for unleashing various issues in the learning process, such as gender inequality, creating adverse effects on cognitive, motivational, and behavioral mediators, which opposes the fifth UN’s Sustainable Development Goal. Therefore, many studies notice the harmful effects of stereotypes in educational technologies. These effects can be included in the design, like colors or other stereotyped elements, or how the activity is conducted. Based on this, the present study aimed to verify the predominance of color bias in educational technologies available on the WEB. This study developed a computational solution to calculate male and female color bias in the available educational technology web pages. The results suggest the prevalence of the development of educational technologies with a male color bias, with an imbalance among genders, without adequate customization for age groups. Furthermore, some environments, such as Computer Science, present a higher color bias for men when compared to women. Despite both scales being independent, results indicated interesting evidence of a substantial prevalence of colors associated with the male scale. According to the literature, this may be associated with dropout and lack of interest in female students, especially in sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics domains.

受刻板教育环境影响的 20 亿注册学生:基于性别的肤色偏见分析

根据文献,教育技术为促进在线教育提供了多种学习优势。然而,有几个相关的挑战,一些研究说明了在详细说明教育技术方面的局限性,称为设计局限性。这方面负责释放学习过程中的各种问题,例如性别不平等,对认知、动机和行为中介产生不利影响,这与联合国第五个可持续发展目标背道而驰。因此,许多研究注意到刻板印象对教育技术的有害影响。这些效果可以包含在设计中,例如颜色或其他定型元素,或者活动的进行方式。基于此,本研究旨在验证 WEB 上可用的教育技术中颜色偏见的主导地位。本研究开发了一种计算解决方案来计算可用教育技术网页中的男性和女性颜色偏差。结果表明,教育技术的发展普遍存在男性色彩偏见,性别不平衡,没有针对年龄组进行适当的定制。此外,与女性相比,某些环境(例如计算机科学)对男性的色彩偏见更高。尽管两个量表都是独立的,但结果表明有趣的证据表明,与男性量表相关的颜色普遍存在。根据文献,这可能与辍学和对女学生缺乏兴趣有关,尤其是在科学、技术、工程、
