Abstract
The purpose of this study is to do the secondary analysis of TIMSS 2003 dataset of Taiwan for investigating the sex differences in science career choice process. A latent variable model based on the social cognitive career theory was proposed, tested, and verified with another split-sample from the same population. The results showed that the science career-choice intentions model would be different by gender. Among them, learning interests would be a main impact factor on females' science career-choice process, and the self-efficacy in science on males' model. The common impact factor on gender for science career-choice process was science outcome expectations. The science achievement had an indirect effect on science learning interests, with the science self-efficacy as a mediator. Finally, some conclusions and suggestions for practical applications and future researches were suggested and proposed.
