  1. in search ofModern Roses in a Diverse Worldis there one profile in modern youth's interests in science which contrasts profiles in other societies? IOSTE, 25-30 July 2004, Lublin, Poland Camilla Schreiner, PhD student, University of Oslo

  2. School science • Western societies • students' dissatisfaction • falling recruitment • connected to modernisation of societies?

  3. Youth's view • science educators • know and understand • bridge our (different) goals youth's horizon • bridge - not adopt or embrace describe and understand Modern Roses in a Diverse World

  4. Outline • focus • 'modernity' • selection of countries • empirical findings • conclusion and discussion

  5. Focus •  in search of Modern Roses in a Diverse World  • one profile in modern youth's interests? • the role of sex • focus on differences • precautions & reservations... • robust findings • notone non-modern profile • notunderstand the non-modern profiles

  6. The term 'modernity' • modernisation, modernity, pre-, late-, post-modern • modern • antonym: traditional, non-modern ≠old-fashioned ≠out-dated

  9. Sampling of countries • 13/24 • extremes of modern–traditional ranking: • modern: North-Western Europe • traditional: Philippines and Africa • various dissimilar countries
