Understanding Young People's Science Aspirations offers new
evidence and understanding about how young people develop their
aspirations for education, learning and, ultimately, careers in
science. Integrating new findings from a major research study with
a wide ranging review of existing international literature, it
brings a distinctive sociological analytic lens to the field of
science education. The book offers an explanation of how some young
people do become dedicated to follow science, and what might be
done to increase and broaden this population, exploring the need
for increased scientific literacy among citizens to enable them to
exercise agency and lead a life underpinned by informed decisions
about their own health and their environment. Key issues considered
include: why we should study young people's science aspirations the
role of families, social class and science capital in career choice
the links between ethnicity, gender and science aspirations the
implications for research, policy and practice. Set in the context
of widespread international policy concern about the urgent need to
improve, increase and diversify participation in post-16 science,
this key text considers how we must encourage a supply of
appropriately qualified future scientists and workers in STEM
industries and ensure a high level of scientific literacy in
society. It is a crucial read for all training and practicing
science teachers, education researchers and academics, as well as
anyone invested in the desire to help fulfil young people's science
aspirations.
