Students´ attitudes to science and technology are measured with a questionnaire in an international research project called ROSE, the Relevance Of Science Education. This is done by asking questions about what 15-year-old students want to learn about, their experiences in and outside school and their opinions about science and technology. In another questionnaire, science teachers in Sweden were asked the same questions. Comparing these data shows that science in school is many times not in line with the young people of today. Trying to understand this situation can help in developing a science agenda in service of the learners.
