DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine how two bodies of international researc
 h can inform the scoping of research-based pedagogical development\; devel
 opment aimed at improving student attitude and achievement in school scien
 ce and mathematics\, with a view to increasing the participation of young 
 people in more advanced study in STEM fields. First\, findings from the TI
 MSS international study series will be used to illuminate trends in the pe
 rformance of the English educational system within a framework of cross-sy
 stem and between-subject comparison. Second\, the findings of recent meta-
 analytic research syntheses will be triangulated\, to identify promising l
 ines of pedagogical development\, which will then be related to the Englis
 h situation.
