With an especial focus on female participation, the chapters offer analysis deploying varied theoretical frameworks, including sociology, social psychology, and gender studies. The material also includes reviews of relevant research in science education, and summaries of empirical data concerning student choices in STEM disciplines in five European countries. Featuring both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book makes a substantial contribution to the developing theoretical agenda in STEM education. It augments available empirical data and identifies strategies in policy-making that could lead to improved participation—and gender balance—in STEM disciplines. The majority of the chapter authors are IRIS project members, with additional chapters written by specially invited contributors. The book provides researchers and policy makers alike with a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of the core issues in STEM educational participation.Science educationMathematics—Study and teaching Higher educationEngineering—Vocational guidanceScience Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000Mathematics Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O25000Higher Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000Job Careers in Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T13009Science education.Mathematics—Study and teaching .Higher education.Engineering—Vocational guidance.Science Education.Mathematics Education.Higher Education.Job Careers in Science and Engineering.370378502.3507.1Henriksen Ellen Karolineedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDillon Justinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRyder Jimedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910484194003321Understanding Student Participation and Choice in Science and Technology Education2845676UNINA
