| 520 | |a The influences of United Kingdom (UK) science teachers and careers advisers on students' decisions about science subjects and science and technology (S&T) careers were examined through a survey completed by 155 (55% of the target sample) career advisers to year 11 pupils in 7 careers service companies and case studies of a sample of 6 diverse schools located throughout the UK. Follow-up interviews with managers in each company were also conducted. Science teachers appeared to have a major influence on pupils' motivation toward and employment in science. This influence was exerted in the following ways: experiences in sciences classrooms; extracurricular activities initiated by science departments; and information about the content of post-16 courses and strategies for coping with advanced studies. Most careers-related activities for pupils in years 9-11 concerned the processes of subject options and work experience choices. All the schools were encountering difficulties in securing work experience placements in science and engineering for year 10-11 pupils. Those schools that were successful in securing placements drew heavily on contacts with parents, governors, and ex-pupils. Twenty recommendations regarding improving students' awareness of S&T-related educational and career opportunities were offered to schools, local careers service companies, national policymakers, and school science departments.
