“…The personal value of science to someone's identity has been increasingly explored in prior research, but generally only through qualitative methods (e.g. Aschbacher, Li, & Roth, 2010;Holmegaard, Ulriksen, & Madsen, 2015). The results presented above highlighted that students' personal value of science predicted science intentions across all students (at a higher magnitude than students' interest in science), and for under-confident and for accurately evaluating students, but not for over-confident students.…”

“…Because the survey data was collected before the decision to leave university had been made, the students' responses concerning how they perceived different aspects of their teaching-learning environment were not given in retrospect at a time when they had already left the programme. Hence, the responses provide an opportunity to compare the perceptions of the teachinglearning environment of stayers and leavers at a time when they were all active students, thus reducing the risk of the leavers' perceptions of their experiences being affected by their decision to leave (Holmegaard et al, 2015). This means that when we find that leavers tend to perceive the study activities as less interesting or relevant than stayers do, this reflects a difference in the experience as it was perceived while both groups were still studying.…”

“…As mentioned previously, the various factors interact and it is this intersection rather than the individual factors that may cause students to decide to leave. Therefore, even though statistical analyses have found that the grade-point average from high school affects a student's relative risk of dropping out more than does the educational level of the parents, which in turn has a stronger effect than the student's gender (Ulriksen, Madsen & Holmegaard, 2015) the decisions and trajectories of the students are not caused by these traits alone. The factors interact with each other, which can be seen in the different hazard ratios in simple analyses compared to multiple analyses (ibid.).…”

“…In order to more completely analyse the role of quantum mechanics in students' pathways into physics, this study puts a focus on how students relate back to the course a few years later. While the stories students tell may well change over the years and be adapted to the situation (Holmegaard et al, 2015), the focus of this analysis is on students' own sense-making of their experiences and not on an exact representation of events. In this way, the accounts of students at the time of the interview are enlightening.…”
