The goal of this study is to examine views regarding STEM education studies pertaining to a variety of disciplines inside an electronic database. In addition, the same keyword was used to search for articles published in the electronic database. 23 studies on STEM education context attitudes were assessed using criteria derived from the associated literature. As a result, Turkey provided the majority of the data, but Jordan, Indonesia, and China each contributed two sets. In research groups, instructors and middle school students mostly participated. University, elementary, and secondary school students participated sequentially. The most notable research explores whether participants' STEM attitudes alter in response to diverse conditions. Next are STEM-related studies. One research focuses on the development of scales. There are two types of STEM attitude factors. The first group consists of attitude-affecting elements. The second one is that factors are associated with attitudes (Personal and academic). Teachers' STEM attitudes were favorable, somewhat positive, and moderately positive. Studies of teachers reveal no gender differences. Also, it is indicated that a negative or no correlation between experience and attitudes. Private school science instructors were more supportive of STEM education than their public-school counterparts. The STEM perspectives of university students were favorable, whereas those of high school students were moderate. University and pre-university perspectives on STEM were not affected by gender. However, some pre-university studies demonstrate gender differences in STEM views. A traineeship or STEM education increased the STEM attitudes of university students. In pre-university STEM programs positively affect attitudes toward STEM.

The BHP Foundation is investing significantly in global education programs and initiatives that are intended to improve the use of evidence to enhance education and learning. In this report, we present a system to evaluate this investment during a fiveyear period. We provide a strategic theory of change, an analysis of challenges and lessons learned through the initiative to date, a framework of indicators to measure progress, an approach to analyze networks in support of better use of evidence in education, and a comparison with other similar foundations or social investment initiatives. Our system offers an evaluation framework for a philanthropic education program, an approach to understanding this program's contribution and place in the broader global education reform movement, and a case study of how this program conceptualizes and measures its own progress. This report will be of interest to the BHP Foundation and its program partners, policymakers engaged in global education, other foundations interested in evaluation models, and academics.This study was undertaken by RAND Education and Labor, a division of the RAND Corporation that conducts research on early childhood through postsecondary education programs, workforce development, and programs and policies affecting workers, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy and decisionmaking. This study was sponsored by the BHP Foundation. The BHP Foundation is committed to improving educational equity for underserved students around the world.More information about RAND can be found at www.rand.org. Questions about this report should be directed to Benjamin Master
