Abstract
Gender diversity is a recurrent topic in the STEM field. The lack of women's presence in the field concerns important organizations such as the UN and UNESCO. This matter impacts collaboration since the absence of team diversity can affect the result obtained. Due to this context, the present study aims to analyze collaboration regarding gender parity. The rapid review methodology was used to search for primary studies on these themes and understand how collaboration and gender have been investigated in the last ten years. We used the Rapid Review methodology to select twenty papers evaluated by type of collaboration, model of collaboration, type of research, and research strategy. While it wasn't possible to determine a definitive collaboration model, the analysis revealed that most studies focused on collaborative learning. The research type showed a balanced distribution between explanatory and descriptive approaches, with the majority employing surveys as their primary research strategy.
