The falling numbers of young people choosing to pursue the study of science has become a matter of national debate and societal concern. Australia's international competitiveness is increasingly dependent on high-level, science-based technical skills, knowledge and innovation. This research will inform the national impetus required from government, business and education sectors to take action by providing research-informed models about how to positively influence students' attitudes towards science and science subject selection. These models will provide critical information about how to secure the next generation of scientists in Australia and a science skilled and knowledgeable workforce and general population.

选择学习科学的年轻人数量的下降已经成为一个全国性的争论和社会关注的问题。澳大利亚的国际竞争力越来越依赖于高水平的、以科学为基础的技术技能、知识和创新。这项研究将通过提供关于如何积极影响学生对科学和科学学科选择的态度的研究信息模型，为政府、企业和教育部门采取行动所需的国家动力提供信息。这些模型将提供关于如何确保澳大利亚下一代科学家以及科学技能和知识的劳动力和一般人口的关键信息。
