Exploring social patterns of participation in university-entrance level mathematics in England (2009, unknown): “Recent reports (Matthews and Pepper 2007; Roberts 2002; Smith 2004) have all highlighted this problem, which has been ongoing since the 1980s.”
“I would rather die”: reasons given by 16-year-olds for not continuing their study of mathematics (2008, background): “Recent reports have stressed the serious shortage in the UK economy of people qualified in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), with the rising demand outstripping a declining supply (Roberts 2002).”
Measuring mathematics self-efficacy as a learning outcome (2011, background): “In effect, we join the efforts of others (e.g. Roberts 2002; Sainsbury 2007) to inform policy and practice, and consequently support a greater flow of students into HE to meet the demands of the emerging national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) agenda in the UK.”
Cross‐national differences in participating in tertiary science, technology, engineering and mathematics education (2005, background): “A secondary problem is the shortage of maths and science teachers in secondary education (e.g., Roberts, 2002; ROA, 2003), which has led to these subjects sometimes being taught by teachers who are not sufficiently qualified.”
Research on Interest in Science: Theories, methods, and findings (2011, background): “…data for exploring these kinds of developmental questions, we want to point in this concluding section to some exemplary findings in this area of interest research because they have a central position in the discussion about science interest (OECD 2006b; Osborne & Dillon, 2008; Roberts, 2002).”
A new approach to evaluating the well-being of PhD research students (2012, unknown): “It is instructive to examine the well-being of PhD researchers in the context of current international concerns about the supply of researchers into universities in Europe (European Higher Education Area 2005) and in the UK (Roberts 2002).”
Pursuing STEM Careers: Perspectives of Senior High School Students (2020, background): “Several studies reported a decline in student engagement with STEM and subsequent choices to pursue STEMrelated careers (American Institute of Physics, 2014; Barton, Tan, & Rivet, 2008; Bottia, Stearns, Mickelson, Moller, & Valentino, 2015; Roberts, 2002; Stagg, Laird, & Taylor, 2003).”
HIGH ASPIRATIONS BUT LOW PROGRESSION: THE SCIENCE ASPIRATIONS–CAREERS PARADOX AMONGST MINORITY ETHNIC STUDENTS (2011, background): “Indeed, this is a matter of considerable concern amongst policy makers in the UK (Roberts, 2002; HM Treasury, 2006), across Europe (European Commission, 2004) and in the USA (National Academy of Sciences 2005), and a considerable body of evidence now exists highlighting how, compared to other…”
Developmental networks and learning: toward an interdisciplinary perspective on identity development during doctoral study (2010, background): “In the UK, the Roberts Review (2002) similarly questioned the adequacy of training of doctoral students for posts as university teachers.”
Does Practical Work Really Work? A study of the effectiveness of practical work as a teaching and learning method in school science (2008, background): “These, it argues, ‘are a vital part of students’ learning experiences … and should play an important role in encouraging students to study [science] at higher levels’ (Roberts, 2002, p. 66).”
Science Teaching and Learning Activities and Students' Engagement in Science (2013, background): “However, in 2007, only 27,000 students completed A-level physics and 40,000 students completed chemistry (Porter & Parvin, 2008).”
Industry placement, authentic experience and the development of venturing and technology self-efficacy (2009, background): “In the UK it is clear that the trend of technically-trained graduates leaving their fields will inevitably represent a significant loss to the economy (Roberts 2002).”
Employing discourse: universities and graduate ‘employability’ (2010, background): “A main finding of the Roberts Report was that there is an ‘apparent mismatch between the mix of skills and aptitudes possessed by SET [science, engineering and technology] graduates and those needed by businesses’ (Roberts 2002, 81).”
Against the odds: resilience in mathematics students in transition (2011, background): “Much has been written about the concern for the decline in mathematics (and mathematically-demanding subjects) participation at pre-university and university levels in the UK (Roberts, 2002; Royal Society, 2008) and other industrialised nations (e.”
