ASPIRES explored science aspirations and engagement among 10-14-year-olds in England. It comprised a quantitative online survey of the cohort and repeat (longitudinal) interviews with a selected sub-sample of students and their parents. Please note that this dataset comprises the quantitative (survey) data only, not the qualitative (interview) data.</p><p>Survey data were collected at three time points: Phase 1 was conducted at the end of primary school (age 10/11, Year 6), phase 2 in the second year of secondary school (age 12/13, Year 8) and phase 3 was administered when students were in Year 9 (age 13/14). </p><p>Two further studies were conducted between 2013 and 2023, when participants were aged 15-19 years and 20-22 years respectively.
