Research also shows that teachers and classroom practices are key agents to change these attitudes. This paper examines teachers’ perceptions of students’ attitudes towards mathematics and careers in STEM, as well as classroom practices emanating from those perceptions. Combining data from two studies, a large-scale survey and an intervention, we argue three main points: (1) student attitudes and teachers’ perceptions of those attitudes quite clearly differ, (2) targeted interventions showing links between mathematics and careers in STEM can have an influence on students’ perceptions of STEM careers and (3) an implementation of classroom ability grouping based on standardised test scores can be disadvantageous to students who have a natural inclination towards STEM and positive attitudes towards mathematics.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:26:49 AEST ]]> Engineering in children's fiction: not a good story? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7892 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:09 AEDT ]]> Chinese high-school students in physics classroom as active, self-regulated learners: cognitive, motivational and environmental aspects https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5506 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:02 AEDT ]]> An integrated analysis of school students' aspirations for STEM careers: which student and school factors are most predictive? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36017 Fri 24 Jan 2020 16:29:13 AEDT ]]>
