Drawing on data generated by the EU s Interests and Recruitment
in Science (IRIS) project, this volume examines the issue of young
people s participation in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics education. With an especial focus on female
participation, the chapters offer analysis deploying varied
theoretical frameworks, including sociology, social psychology and
gender studies. The material also includes reviews of relevant
research in science education and summaries of empirical data
concerning student choices in STEM disciplines in five European
countries.
Featuring both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book
makes a substantial contribution to the developing theoretical
agenda in STEM education. It augments available empirical data and
identifies strategies in policy-making that could lead to improved
participation and gender balance in STEM disciplines. The majority
of the chapter authors are IRIS project members, with additional
chapters written by specially invited contributors. The book
provides researchers and policy makers alike with a comprehensive
and authoritative exploration of the core issues in STEM
educational participation."
