Attainment and Transition Out: Entering the STEM workforce: the impact of equity, motivation and prior achievement

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

This presentation explores the study on STEM pathways for young people in equity groups as they progress from secondary school, through post-school education and into the workforce. The presentation will focus primarily on the final step in the pathways explored—entry into the STEM workforce—and then wind back to examine some critical factors during the school years that influence pathways into STEM. The research used data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) and the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) for tracking a cohort of young people from age 15 to 25. The study focused on young people from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, non-metropolitan areas, first in family to enrol at university, and women.
