Who Aspires to a Science Career? A comparison of survey responses from primary and secondary school students (2015, background): “Many interventions target students who are already well into secondary school and are at a point where their aspirations are unlikely to change dramatically (Archer et al., 2012, 2013; Aschbacher, Li, & Roth, 2010; Maltese & Tai, 2010, 2011; Tai, Liu, Maltese, & Fan, 2006).”
STEM Images Revealing STEM Conceptions of Pre-Service Chemistry and Mathematics Teachers (2016, result): “This result was also parallel with Maltese and Tai (2010) who indicated that students who experienced STEM practices in early ages are more likely inclined to study in the STEM areas.”
Developing Middle School Students' AI Literacy (2021, background): “Of the attendees 87% were from underrepresented groups in STEM and computing fields: 58% were Black, 13% were Hispanics/Latinos, 6% were Asian females, 10% were from two or more underrepresented groups in STEM and computing, and two students (6”
Integrating Ethics and Career Futures with Technical Learning to Promote AI Literacy for Middle School Students: An Exploratory Study (2022, background): “The third increase, however, indicates that the workshop has sparked an early interest in AI careers and students tended to discuss with their family and friends to find more resources and opinions for the topic (Maltese & Tai, 2010).”
Analysis of the Decline in Interest Towards School Science and Technology from Grades 5 Through 11 (2014, background): “(Maltese and Tai 2010, p. 671) Our analysis suggests that the choice to pursue might be more closely linked to the perceptions of the importance and utility of out-of-school S&T than to what is actually experienced in class.”
Longitudinal Analysis of the Relations Between Opportunities to Learn About Science and the Development of Interests Related to Science (2012, background): “Krapp and Prenzel (2011) and Maltese and Tai (2010) have suggested that quality of instruction may make a difference in interest development, particularly for girls.”
Robotics to promote elementary education pre-service teachers' STEM engagement, learning, and teaching (2015, background): “STEM education is weaker in primary schools than in secondary schools (Hossain & Robinson, 2012) despite the prolonged impact of elementary students’ career interests on their career choices (Archer et al., 2013; Maltese & Tai, 2010).”
Science-related Aspirations Across the Primary–Secondary Divide: Evidence from two surveys in England (2014, background): “Overall, an overwhelming body of accumulated evidence points to interest in science being largely formed by age 14 for most students (Ashbacher, Li, & Roth, 2010; Maltese & Tai, 2010, 2011; The Royal Society, 2006).”
Pipeline persistence: Examining the association of educational experiences with earned degrees in STEM among U.S. students (2011, background): “Previous research indicates that from an early age (i.e., middle school), interest in pursuing a career in STEM may provide the momentum to carry students through the pipeline (Cleaves, 2005; Kidd & Naylor, 1991; Maltese & Tai, 2010; Tai et al., Science Education 2006).”
STEM Education in Early Childhood: A Review of Empirical Studies (2020, positive): “Therefore, students should be early exposed to STEM education (Maltese & Tai, 2010).”
