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 ]]> Who says we are not attracting the best and brightest?

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 ]]> Evaluation for the NSW Volunteering Strategy Interim Report: Phase 2 Timebanking https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31743 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:43:26 AEDT ]]> Policy entrepreneurs and the role of advanced cognition in policy innovation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17601 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:00 AEDT ]]> Policy entrepreneurs and the role of advanced cognition in policy innovation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27941 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:06 AEDT ]]> Validation of a two-factor model of the Best Start Kindergarten Assessment of literacy and numeracy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47465 Mon 23 Jan 2023 10:30:30 AEDT ]]> Short- and medium-term impacts of the Just Like You disability awareness program: a quasi-experimental comparison of alternative forms of program delivery in New South Wales’ primary schools https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31126 Mon 01 Apr 2019 11:53:05 AEDT ]]> Operationalizing Bourdieu in the study of student aspirations: conceptual and methodological challenges https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41499 Fri 05 Aug 2022 10:53:24 AEST ]]>
