I was sort of stereotyping, sort of not. Learning style (tinkering vs reading) actually tends to fall across gender lines in ways that are consistent with stereotypes (see the research around GenderMag gendermag.org/research.php).

Thank you to Anita Sarma (#OregonStateUniversity #GenderMag) for a great #DeepDive on how #InclusiveTech, solves big problems for #opensourceprojects by increasing contributors and users; and enhancing project sustainability.

Are we designing software that supports all students equally?
Women remain underrepresented in CS/SE & are less likely to persist. Could the tools we use be part of the problem?
New research explores this via GenderMag-inspired personas.

(this whole very essentialist "there are individual differences in gendered problem solving"/"GenderMag" cognitive styles thing is like....what is going on here? but that's a separate question I have......)

Last year the module feedback said my lectures needed to be more engaging. So every week I've included a Mentimeter quizzing them on previous lectures, debating topics, or getting them to reflect on their assumptions:

Shoutout to Simone Strumpf, & Margaret Burnett's (et al.) GenderMag resources!

An LLM's Attempts to Adapt to Diverse Software Engineers' Problem-Solving Styles: More Inclusive & Equitable?
Software engineers use code-fluent large language models (LLMs) to help explain unfamiliar code, yet LLM explanations are not adapted to engineers' diverse problem-solving needs. We prompted an LLM to adapt to five problem-solving style types from an inclusive design method, the Gender Inclusiveness Magnifier (GenderMag). We ran a user study with software engineers to examine the impact of explanation adaptations on software engineers' perceptions, both for explanations which matched and mismatched engineers' problem-solving styles. We found that explanations were more frequently beneficial when they matched problem-solving style, but not every matching adaptation was equally beneficial; in some instances, diverse engineers found as much (or more) benefit from mismatched adaptations. Through an equity and inclusivity lens, our work highlights the benefits of having an LLM adapt its explanations to match engineers' diverse problem-solving style values, the potential harms when matched adaptations were not perceived well by engineers, and a comparison of how matching and mismatching LLM adaptations impacted diverse engineers.

Two examples: In GenderMag, researchers build a tool to enable developers to find *gender inclusiveness bugs* — providing personas to help developers see software through the lens of users different than them.
