Publisher's abstract: "Who Chooses Science? draws on a national survey of over 4,000 students along with detailed case-studies of science teaching within eight schools. It highlights best practice in science education and identifies the factors which affect the take-up of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Higher Maths at senior cycle. It also indicates the student and school characteristics which influence the choice of course on entry to higher education. The book indicates the way in which schools can facilitate or constrain the choices made by students and discusses the implications for educational policy."
