Attitudes, intentions and participation in education: year 12 and beyond

This briefing paper draws on findings from several Longitudinal Survey of Australian Youth (LSAY) research reports (indexed at TD/TNC 56.13, TD/TNC 71.540, TD/TNC 74.66, TD/TNC 74.278, TD/TNC 83.214), which report on how student attitudes and engagement in the formative school years influence subsequent participation in post-compulsory education and training. Data is used from two LSAY cohorts: students who were in year nine in 1995, and students who were in year nine in 1998. Attitudes to school in the LSAY program are based on student responses to a set of 30 items, and intentions to further study are recorded in Year 9.
