| Abstract | As globalization allows multinational corporations to shift production to cheaper markets, educators across the globe struggle to meet the changing demands required to attract the foreign direct investment (FDI) needed to raise their country's standard of living. Few countries have been more successful attracting and leveraging FDI than Ireland. This mixed-methods, convergent parallel study examined the perceptions of students, parents, teachers, school administrators, business leaders, educational leaders, and policymakers regarding the influence of globalization, leadership, and science fairs on female students' acquisition of 21st-century skills and their college-career pursuit of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in response to Ireland's "STEM Education Policy Statement: 2017-2026." Expanding on prior studies, this research is located at the rather busy intersection of globalization of education, STEM via project-based learning, and 21st-century skills, while adding leadership and feminist theory. Initial findings indicated that female students' access to role models and access to subject content combined with interactive project based instruction showed promise for increasing female students' interest in and pursuit of STEM. Findings also showed that school leaders have failed to recognize that students, parents, and many teachers are not responding to their current as intended to promote the pursuit of STEM and acquisition of 21st-century skills through participation in science fairs. School leaders need to become the primary drivers of the science fair competitions at their school site and not to lean so heavily on teachers. Shifts in program implementation and communication are essential to help students and parents understand the value and benefits of participation in science fair competitions. School leadership can accomplish these changes by properly employing multiple frames of leadership. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
