“…Although this situation does not create a statistical meaning, it can be said that female students have a higher attitude for FeTeMM (STEM). Yet, this result shows difference with the research result of Unfried & et al (2014);Wells, Sanchez & Attridge (2007).…”

“…When the international literature is analyzed, it is seen that there are (Rehmat,2015;Saad, 2014;Unfried, Faber & Wiebe, 2014;Naizer, Hawthorne & Hanley, 2014;Tseng, Chang & Lou, 2013;Moore, Stohlmann, Wang, Tank & Roehrig, 2013;Doppelt, Mehalik, Schunn, Silk & Krysinski, 2008;Wells, Sanchez, & Attridge, 2007Fortus & ark., 2004) lots of studies. For example, as a result of the summer camp program that Nazier & et al (2014) done with middle school learners, they determined that students' interest rises in terms of maths and science and technology.…”

In this research, which is done in order to determine the demographical features on middle school students' 6 th , 7 th and 8 th grades towards FeTeMM (STEM), scanning design is used. It is performed with 581 middle school students, and data are collected through Middle School Students' point of view to Stem (S-Stem) scale. The research is implemented during 2015-2016 spring period. For statistical evaluation of gathered data, independent t-test and one direction variance analysis (anova), one direction variance analysis Kruskal-Wallis are used. Also, data are evaluated on 0.05 level relevance and its percentage, frequency, average and standard deviation levels are calculated. According to findings gathered from the study, it is seen that opinion of students to FeTeMM (STEM), the mother education level and father education level have a great effect but gender and class level haven't. On the other hand, applied sciences, like maths, engineering and 21st century skills, the effects of students' gender, mom and father education level and grade level are expressed.

“…It is also important to identify STEM areas of students who are studying at high schools before or after specializing and to provide necessary guidance to them. Studies in the literature support this view and note that there is a general decline in interests toward STEM areas starting from primary to high schools (VanLeuvan 2004;Wells, Sanchez & Attridge, 2007). However, there are very few studies indicating whether interests of students in STEM subjects or careers have changed (and that is often declined) before studying in universities (Fouad, Smith & Enoch, 1997;VanLeuvan 2004).…”

“…Bu görüşün yanında lise ve dengi okullarda öğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerin branşlaşma öncesinde veya sonrasında da STEM kariyerlerinin tespit edilip öğrencilere gerekli rehberliğin yapılması da önem arz etmektedir. Literatürde yer alan çalışmalar, bu görüşü desteklemekte ve aynı zamanda ilkokuldan lise son sınıfa kadar STEM ilgi alanlarında genel bir düşüş olduğunu belgelemektedir (VanLeuvan 2004;Wells, Sanchez & Attridge, 2007). Ancak üniversiteye girmeden önce öğrencilerin, STEM konularına ya da kariyerlere olan ilgisinin değişip değişmediğini (ve çoğunlukla gerilediğini) gösteren çok az çalışma bulunmaktadır (Fouad, Smith & Enoch, 1997;VanLeuvan 2004).…”

The aim of this study is to determine effects of the Project-Based (PBL) STEM (Science Technology, Engineering Mathematics) education on academic achievements and career interests of vocational high school students. Pretest-posttest design, one group of pre-trial model, was used in the study. The participants of the research consisted of 18 students in eleventh-grade at the furniture department of vocational high school. Quantitative data collection tools were used to gather the data for the study. “STEM Achievement Test” and “STEM Career Interest Scale” were applied to the students as pretest and posttest. The data obtained from the achievement test and carrier interest test were analyzed by using non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test with SPSS 16.0 software. It was found at the end of the study that, students improved significantly their academic achievement in the furniture design course and developed career interests in a positive direction.

“…This would improve teacher quality if school administrators hired the more capable new teachers from the larger pool of candidates, but there is an absence of data to support a conclusion that this will happen. 233 In the long term, the authors suggest that industry salaries (which are more dynamic than those of the government, including our public education system) will simply rise in response, thereby negating the incentive built into the original salary increase:…”
