Children and young people have tacit understandings of the stereotypical assumptions about who tends to be interested in particular school subjects. There are often patterns associated with gender, ethnicity and/or class, for example. This module is designed to equip us to engage with research on the underlying drivers of who feels they could 'do' the subject and who feels the subject is 'right' for them. The module will then support us to develop, critique and test research-informed actions to widen participation through mitigating the impacts of those assumptions.
