The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gender, science achievement, perceptions of science, and out-of-school experience on middle school students' science career aspiration. We conduced a survey on 181 middle school students and investigated whether there was a difference in perception of science and out-of-school experience according to science career aspiration, and derived the eight variables from survey items based on exploratory factor analysis. And we conducted a logistic regression analysis that explains the effects of eight derived variables, gender, and science achievement on science career aspiration. The result of analysis showed that only two factors such as 'interest and preference for science learning' and 'use of everyday tools' were significant to explain science career aspiration. It has thus been found that it is important to increase students' interest in and preferences for science learning and use of tools in everyday life in order to increase their science career aspiration.

This study examined the differential effects of High-Impact Practices(HIPs) on the career aspiration of STEM college students by gender. Through the theoretical lens of Social Cognitive Career Theory(SCCT), a two-level model analysis was conducted. A sample of 2,101 third- and fourth-year undergraduate students majoring in STEM at 38 universities, which had been collected from the National Survey on College Student Experiences and Learning Outcomes funded by the Korea Research Foundation, was used. This study found that the three HIP domains(learning with peers, faculty support, content relevancy) had different influences depending on gender. These findings suggest that HIPs can benefit the development of female students' career aspiration and have gender-differential effects on students in STEM majors. Based on those findings, this study also deduced implications about the roles of faculty members and higher-education institutions that might foster the retention of women in STEM.
