• Science-related Aspirations Across the Primary–Secondary Divide: Evidence from two surveys in England (2014, background): “More specifically, previous survey work conducted in British and American contexts has found that perceived parental support for the pursuit of science and positive attitudes towards science are closely linked with aspirations towards careers in science (DeWitt et al., 2013; Gilmartin et al., 2006).”
• Latina/o Adolescents' Funds of Knowledge Related to Engineering (2016, background): “In short, many Latina/o adolescents opt out of engineering-related courses and careers before entering college (G (cid:2) andara, 2006; Gilmartin, Li, & Aschbacher, 2006; Museus, Palmer, Davis, & Maramba, 2011).”
• Who Aspires to a Science Career? A comparison of survey responses from primary and secondary school students (2015, unknown): “A key factor that has been identified in previous work by others (e.g. Aschbacher et al., 2010; Gilmartin et al., 2006; Stake, 2006) and ourselves (e.g. Archer et al., 2012) is the role of the family.”
• Is Science Me? High School Students' Identities, Participation and Aspirations in Science, Engineering, and Medicine. (2009, methodology): “Arlington, VA: National Science Foundation.”
• Young Children's Aspirations in Science: The unequivocal, the uncertain and the unthinkable (2013, methodology): “Another factor that has been posited to shape aspirations is the extent to which individuals can imagine themselves in a particular occupation or field (Gilmartin et al., 2006; Lyons & Quinn, 2010; Taconis & Kessels, 2009).”
