Project STEM - Book of Insights
This book describes young people’s attitudes, beliefs, motivations and behaviours that affect their decisions on subject choice and career paths to add depth to the current understanding of how young people perceive STEM careers.
Four phases of research activity with young people; qualitative, social listening, co-creation and quantitative research activities are brought together. The book contains four sections exploring:
*Attitudes and Mindsets that define today’s generation of 14 to 17 year olds across England.
*Career goals and ambitions: what young people want from work.
*Decision points: When key decisions are made, identifying the key influencers, the role of parents and the role of teachers.
*Perceptions of STEM: How STEM is perceived by young people, parents and teachers. How STEM is talked about on social media.
The appendix outlines the approach taken in this piece of research.
