Gender discrimination in education for girls is a rampant
problem in Pakistan. Information Technology with its provision of vast
and diverse opportunities of global awareness and access to the latest
educational resources has a potentially valuable approach for the
benefit of girls of rural and remote areas. To explore whether
Information Technology can play a role in the personality enhancement
and gender elevation of deprived girls, an action-research project
investigated the social and emotional qualitative aspects of conducting
an Information Technology training for a group of deprived girls. An
induction of selected IT skills for enhancing social awareness into
global issues and computer application for progressive use was made
for a period of four months. During the sessions, the researchers
considered social and emotional changes occurring in the group
through the methods of participant observer, semi-structured
interviews, qualitative analysis of on the spot reflections by the
researchers. The whole process and events of the teaching-learning
activities was video-taped and finally summarized in a sequenced
visual documentary report of the session. The findings are that the
group showed enhanced social and emotional skills and a much more
positive attitude towards their learning in this area. The approach holds
considerable potential.
