Their individual responses were linked with prior academic achievement and demographic data. Logistic regression models were used to examine the significance of student- and school-related variables as predictors of interest in medicine. Results: Significant predictors were: being in the early years of secondary school, possessing high cultural capital, coming from a language background other than English, being female, and perceiving oneself as 'well above average' relative to peers. Socio-economic status was a significant predictor when examined independently, but not when all variables were considered in the full regression model. Conclusions: For medical schools seeking to widen participation, this study underscores the importance of recognising the intersection of other factors with socio-economic status and how they contribute to students¿ aspirational biographies. If medical schools are to select from a more diverse range of applicants, recruitment strategies must take into account the discursive positioning of the discipline. Sustained outreach into primary and secondary schools may be critical to interrupting the current social reproduction of medical schooling.]]> Wed 16 Feb 2022 09:59:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40827 Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:04:03 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30375 n = 6492) from New South Wales government schools, this study investigated the occupational and educational aspirations of 432 Indigenous school students. While we found that Indigenous and non-Indigenous students held similar occupational aspirations, Indigenous students were much less likely to aspire to attend university. Most starkly, high-achieving Indigenous students were significantly less likely to aspire to university than their high-achieving non-Indigenous peers. Given this evidence, we argue that both the possibility and desirability of higher education must be addressed if the widening participation agenda is to meet equity targets for Indigenous students.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:19:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42915 Wed 07 Sep 2022 09:33:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50693 Wed 02 Aug 2023 11:24:08 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54586 Tue 14 May 2024 15:37:24 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38783 Tue 06 Jun 2023 16:07:12 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54119 Tue 06 Feb 2024 10:11:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40946 Tue 05 Dec 2023 10:11:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39014 Tue 05 Dec 2023 10:05:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40947 Tue 05 Dec 2023 09:57:52 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53549 Tue 05 Dec 2023 09:56:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52086 Thu 28 Sep 2023 14:22:59 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40935 Thu 21 Jul 2022 15:52:20 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30374 n = 57), and identify areas where further research is needed. Despite a recent increase in research on this topic, relatively little attention has been paid to Indigenous students' aspirations while they are at school. We argue that future research should take account of school students' aspirations for higher education, including primary school students; the similitude of barriers and enablers across the student life cycle; differences within Indigenous community and among Indigenous students; and, the insights emerging from Indigenous methodologies and scholarship.]]> Thu 04 Jul 2019 13:42:38 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38780 Mon 31 Jan 2022 12:57:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43635 Mon 26 Sep 2022 16:29:45 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40730 within and across the academy. However, this stratification is glossed over in widening participation policy and research. In this paper, we challenge this view by examining young people’s capacities to ‘choose’ university using the heuristic of ‘embedded choosers’ and ‘contingent choosers.’ Our analysis of two school-based case studies highlights the early stratification of students’ post-school choices, conceptualised as a continuum from an absence of choice to a wide array of global choice. We argue that rather than focus on gains in overall enrolment, there is a critical need to address the insidious stratification that is subsumed within the widening participation agenda.]]> Mon 20 May 2024 12:58:43 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39015 Mon 11 Apr 2022 12:57:33 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40965 Mon 08 Aug 2022 14:15:17 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41328 Mon 08 Aug 2022 10:47:24 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49195 Fri 05 May 2023 15:51:03 AEST ]]>
