“…Researchers have directly correlated the reasons for persistence and retention in STEM disciplines with individual interests (Thiry et al, 2019). Also, studies in the literature have adopted theoretical and quantitative measures to explore the factors that affect students' individual interests in STEM disciplines (Birbili and Tsitouridou, 2008;Knekta et al, 2020;Laine et al, 2020;Habig and Gupta, 2021;Höft and Bernholt, 2021;Ishak et al, 2022). However, studies from the undergraduate level pertaining specifically to the individual interests of students are limited.…”

Despite massive investments in the education sector to empower youth in Qatar, a vital concern remains to retain students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines at the undergraduate level. Even though the country is committed to fostering a knowledge-based society, the low interest of undergraduates in STEM disciplines remains a vital challenge. To investigate this, the current study uses a survey methodology to investigate the perspectives of 172 undergraduate students to understand quantitatively the factors that influence their individual interests in STEM disciplines. Non-parametric significance tests and binary logistic regressions were employed to quantitatively measure the direct factors and predictors that affect students’ individual interests. Findings indicated that aspects like students’ reason/motivation to join STEM, their interaction with faculty, the habit of skipping classes, the difficulty faced in the curriculum, and their parents’ highest educational qualification have an association with individual interests. Also, it was found that demographics such as age group, ethnicity, undergraduate discipline, undergraduate year, parent’s employment status, and mother’s highest educational qualification do not contribute to significant differences in students’ individual interests. These conclusions provide important implications for educationists and policymakers to devise constructive reforms to enhance undergraduate students’ individual interests, thereby improving their persistence in STEM.

I n den letzten Jahren haben sich die Rahmenbedingungen für Bildung ständig verändert, etwa durch coronabedingte Schulschließungen und Lernende, die kein Deutsch verstehen. Um Lehrende und Lernende zu unterstützen, erschließen Chemiedidaktiker:innen daher fortlaufend (neue) Themen, entwickeln Experimente und Konzepte für den Unterricht und untersuchen kontinuierlich Lehr-Lernprozesse. Diese zwei Bereiche chemiedidaktischer Forschungdie experimentell-konzeptionelle und die empirische -und deren Entwicklung in den Jahren 2021/22 präsentiert dieser Bericht. Um Trends in der experimentellkonzeptionellen Forschung zu erkennen, wurden von September 2021 bis August 2022 149 Artikel in folgenden nationalen Journalen gesichtet: • Chemie konkret (CHEMKON) • Naturwissenschaften im Unterricht Chemie (NiU-C) • Chemie in unserer Zeit (ChiuZ) • Journal des Verbands zur Förderung des MINT-Unterrichts (MNU) Berücksichtigt wurden auch 119 Artikel in den internationalen Journalen:
