Performance studies in technological courses between Men and Women

Abstract

We live in an extremely competitive society. Both women and men constantly need to demonstrate their competitive capabilities and occupy their spaces in the job market. The objective of this research was to analyze the difference in performance in Probability and Statistics between male and female students. 98 students were research subjects, divided into, 16 women (16.33%) and 82 men (83.67%). All regularly enrolled in the 3rd semester of the Bachelor's degree in Information Systems. Performance data was obtained from the course grading system. An explanatory and non-experimental quantitative model was followed.  There was no statistically significant difference in performance in Probability and Statistics between genders, p>0.05. Women demonstrated that even in small numbers they are as competitive as men in the discipline analyzed.
