Drawing on Eccles’ expectancy-value model of achievement-related choices, we
examined how work values predict individual and gender differences in sciences,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) participations in early adulthood (ages of
25/27, 6 or 8 years after postsecondary school), controlling for subjective task values
attached to academic subjects in late adolescence (11th grade, age 18). The study
examined 1,259 Finnish participants using a person-oriented approach. Results showed
that: (a) we could identify four profile groups based on five core work values (society,
family, monetary, career prospects, and working with people); (b) work-value profiles
predicted young adults actual STEM participation in two fields: math-intensive and life
science occupations above and beyond academic task values (e.g., math/science) and
background information; (c) work-value profiles also differentiate between those who
entered support- vs. professional-level STEM jobs; and (d) gender differences in work
value profiles partially explained the differential representation of women across STEM
sub-disciplines and the overall underrepresentation of women in STEM fields.

The role of individual and parental expectations in student-athletes’ career adaptability profiles
Nikander, Jaakko; Tolvanen, Asko; Aunola, Kaisa; Ryba, Tatiana V. (Elsevier BV, 2022)To support holistic development, adolescent student-athletes are encouraged to integrate sport with education/academics (i.e., dual careers). Career adaptability, as a psychological resource, may help youth athletes cope ... -
Enablers and Constraints of STEM Programme Implementation : an External Change Agent Perspective from a National STEM Programme in Finland
Mäkelä, Tiina; Tuhkala, Ari; Mäki-Kuutti, Matias; Rautopuro, Juhani (Springer, 2023)An international need exists for effective programmes that will enhance learners’ interest in studies and careers related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, i.e. STEM. When considering the impact of STEM ... -
Collaboration network for inspiring children and youth into science, mathematics and technology in Finland
Myllymäki, Mikko; Impiö, Pentti; Hakala, Ismo (IEEE; Czech Technical University in Prague, 2021)The importance of STEM education is widely recognized. Despite the value of the sector and good associated employment prospects, young students generally lack interest in science and engineering. This is reflected in the ... -
