'Understanding young people's aspirations to teach' (with the Royal Society of Chemistry)

英格兰目前和预计的教师短缺仍然是一个相当令人担忧的问题。中学阶段对教师的需求最为迫切。科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科已被确定为教师最长期短缺的学科之一。这一项目将对促进年轻人(10-23岁)如何形成他们对教学，特别是科学教学的抱负和想法做出宝贵和独特的贡献。使用混合方法(调查和访谈)，学生将利用ASPIRES/ASPIRES2研究进行新的实证研究和二次分析，该研究由经济和社会研究理事会资助，由路易丝·阿彻教授领导。英国皇家化学学会是英国化学教育最大的非政府投资者，对了解目前专业STEM教师短缺特别感兴趣。特别欢迎对教学和STEM教育研究有经验和兴趣，并拥有教育、社会学或其他相关社会科学学科硕士学位的应聘者申请。有关ASPIRES/ASPIRES2研究研究的更多详情，请访问：https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/departments-and-centres/departments/education-practice-and-society/aspires-2，或直接向伦敦大学学院教育学院的l.archer@ucl.ac.uk查询。其目的是在+3全日制的基础上分配学生名额。

The current and projected teacher shortage in England remains an issue of considerable concern. The need for teachers is most acute at secondary level. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects have been identified as having some of the most chronic teacher shortages. This studentship will make a valuable and distinctive contribution to advancing knowledge of how young people (aged 10-23) form their aspirations and ideas about teaching, particularly science teaching. Using mixed methods (surveys and interviews), the student will conduct both new empirical research and secondary analysis using the ASPIRES/ ASPIRES2 studies, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, and led by Professor Louise Archer. The Royal Society of Chemistry is the biggest non-governmental investor in chemistry education in the UK and has a particular interest in understanding the current specialist STEM teacher shortage. Applications are particularly welcomed from candidates with experience and interest in teaching and STEM education research and a Masters degree in Education, Sociology or another relevant social science discipline. Consult: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/departments-and-centres/departments/education-practice-and-society/aspires-2 for further details on the ASPIRES/ASPIRES2 research study and direct enquiries to l.archer@ucl.ac.uk at UCL Institute of Education. The intention is that the studentship will be allocated on a +3 full time basis.
