年轻人的愿望仍然是教育政策感兴趣和关注的持久焦点。根据一项正在进行的为期五年的年轻人(10-14岁)科学和职业抱负的研究数据，本文询问了12/13岁的年轻人渴望什么，以及是什么影响了这些抱负？它概述了英国年轻人在小学最后一年(对9000多名10/11岁的6年级学生进行的调查，采访了92名儿童和76名家长)和中学二年级(对5 600名12/13岁的8岁学生进行的调查，采访了85名学生)表达的这些愿望的主要愿望和来源。我们展示了结构性力量(例如，社会阶层、性别和种族)如何塑造愿望，以及不同的影响范围(家庭/家庭、学校、爱好/休闲活动和电视)如何塑造不同类型的愿望。本文的结论是考虑到对教育政策和职业教育的影响。
Young people's aspirations remain an enduring focus of education policy interest and concern. Drawing on data from an ongoing five-year study of young people's science and career aspirations (age 10-14), this paper asks what do young people aspire to at age 12/13, and what influences these aspirations? It outlines the main aspirations and sources of these aspirations as expressed by young people in England in the last year of primary school (survey of 9000+ Y6 pupils, aged 10/11, interviews with 92 children and 76 parents) and the second year of secondary school (survey of 5600+ Y8 pupils, aged 12/13, interviews with 85 pupils). We demonstrate how aspirations are shaped by structural forces (e.g. social class, gender and ethnicity) and how different spheres of influence (home/family, school, hobbies/leisure activities and TV) appear to shape different types of aspirations. The paper concludes by considering the implications for educational policy and careers education.
