The results of this systematic literature review show that game playing or designing could indeed improve how girls perceive having a career in CS. Specifically, we investigate the effects that the game play/design activities had on girls’ perception about Computer Science and what are the key design factors to be kept in mind while designing a serious game to improve girls’ perception about Computer Science. We identify 25 papers to distill a common understanding of the state-of-the-art. The applied method is a Systematic Literature Review through which we investigate which contributions were made, which knowledge areas were most explored, and which research facets have been used. We further present the design consideration for the games and related activities to potentially improve the perception of girls towards a Computer Science career.
We investigate the relation between the various game playing or designing activities and their impact on girls’ perception of Computer Science as a career choice. We follow up with an overview of the status of research through a Systematic Literature Review. Research about gaming activities for increasing girls’ interest in computer science has gained much attention over the past few years and has resulted in a number of contributions.
These activities include both game play and game design. The objective of exposing girls to Computer Science as a career option has led to research directed towards gaming activities for girls.
