Gendered engagement and participation in sciences and mathematics

该项目旨在找出中学期间学习科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)科目的女孩(和男孩)数量下降的原因。该项目将与国际知名学者合作，在澳大利亚进行补充的纵向研究，分析下降的动机，特别是女孩/妇女的动机，以显示这如何预测不同的STEM职业选择和实际职业结果，从而产生理论发展，并为促进女孩/妇女(和男孩/男子)参与这些领域的政策提供信息。该项目的预期成果包括向联邦和州政府、行业和教育利益攸关方提供全面的循证建议，这将使干预计划能够协调发展，以解决这些问题。

This project aims to identify the reasons for the declining numbers of girls (and boys) studying sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects during secondary school. This project will conduct complementary longitudinal studies in Australia, in collaboration with leading international scholars, analysing declining motivations, especially for girls/women, to show how this predicts different STEM career choices and actual occupational outcomes, to yield theoretical developments and inform policy to improve the participation of girls/women (and boys/men) in these fields. Expected outcomes of this project include the provision of comprehensive evidence-informed recommendations to Federal and State government, industry and education stakeholders, which will enable the coordinated development of intervention programs to address these issues.
