Description
There are stereotypical beliefs about the work of scientists among students. These can lead to a lack of interest and ill-considered occupational choices. We aim at developing a model to represent a comprehensive overview of the work of physicists, based on the RIASEC+N-model of vocational interest types [1]. We focus on the work of researchers in a Collaborative Research Centre in the field of nuclear-/ astrophysics. We have conducted an interview- and a questionnaire study to identify occupational activity profiles among them. This will be used to design an outreach program to give students an authentic insight in modern physics.
