Abstract

Abstract Achieving eminence in STEM domains requires the development of intellectual and academic abilities, creativity, and the cultivation of psychological and social skills. The value of talent development, nurture, and training is key to achieve success in science. Using the mega-model of talent development as the theoretical basis and embedded mixed-method design, the present study examines attainment levels of 622 STEM professionals aged between 29 to 77 years who are awardees of Jagadis Bose National Science Talent Search (JBNSTS), India's oldest science talent search organization. The efficacy of the program towards nurturing pathways of eminence and expertise amongst scholars is explored through mapping longitudinal archival data and analyzing scholar interviews across four generations and three talent development stages. Findings throw light on key factors and experiences highlighting the role played by JBNSTS in facilitating the scientific journeys of its scholars over six decades. Differences in career trajectories and life choices of JBNSTS scholars are explained in terms of contributing factors related to their overall experience including transformational moments.

测绘STEM学生的卓越和专长——印度人才发展研究

要在STEM领域取得卓越成就，需要发展智力和学术能力、创造力以及培养心理和社交技能。人才开发、培养和培训的价值是在科学领域取得成功的关键。本研究以人才发展的大模型为理论基础，采用嵌入式混合方法设计，调查了622名年龄在29至77岁之间的STEM专业人员的成就水平，这些专业人员是印度最古老的科学人才搜索组织Jagadis Bose国家科学人才搜索(JBNSTS)的获奖者。通过绘制纵向档案数据和分析跨越四代人和三个人才发展阶段的学者访谈，探讨了该计划在培养学者卓越和专业知识途径方面的功效。这些发现揭示了突出JBNSTS在60年来促进其学者的科学之旅中所发挥的作用的关键因素和经验。本研究从包括转变时刻在内的整体经验因素来解释JBNSTS学者在职业轨迹和生活选择上的差异。
