- Description
- The study 'Educational and Career Aspirations in the Middle Years of Schooling: Understanding Complexity for Increased Equity:_ funded by the Australian Research Council and the NSW Department of Education,1 sought to identify the relative impact of, and complex interplay among, student- and school-related factors influencing the career and educational aspirations of students. Both the scale of the study and its mixed-method longitudinal design were innovative in the field of aspirations research, where cross-sectional analyses and small samples are common (e.g. Guo et al. 2015). Our goal of providing comprehensive quantitative and qualitative longitudinal analyses of factors influencing students' aspirations (see Figure 5.1) drew us to a composite capitals construct.
