The aim of this study is to develop a scale in order to identify science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) awareness levels of teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and information technology) in high schools. The research was conducted with 247 teachers working in high schools. 24 items were selected from the question pool created during the first phase of the study in line with expert opinions. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted within the scope of validity studies. As the result of EFA, it was obtained that the scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions (“Effect to Students”, “Effect to Lessons”, “Effect to Teachers”) a 15-item scale consisting. In the second phase of the study, the 3 sub-dimensions was confirmed as a result of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with Lisrel 8.80 program. Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient for the scale was .82; .81, .71 and .70 for each sub-dimension, respectively. In the third phase of the study, the test-retest method was applied, the standard deviation and mean of the scale were calculated as 0.52, 3.95 in the first application and 0.53, 3.91 in the second application.  Pearson's correlation coefficient was found to be significant at r = 0.615 and p = .001 level. As a result of the study, a valid and reliable scale, which can be used to determine the STEM awareness levels of the teachers in the field of STEM in high schools, has been developed.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, ortaöğretim kurumlarında görev yapan fen, teknoloji, mühendislik ve matematik (FeTeMM) alanı öğretmenlerinin (matematik, fizik, kimya, biyoloji ve bilişim teknolojileri) FeTeMM farkındalık seviyelerini tespit etmek için bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Araştırma, ortaöğretim kurumlarında görev yapmakta olan 247 öğretmen ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında oluşturulan soru havuzundan uzman görüşleri doğrultusunda 24 madde seçilmiştir. Geçerlik çalışmaları kapsamında açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, 3 alt boyuttan oluşan (“Öğrenciye Etkisi”, “Derse Etkisi” ve Öğretmene Etkisi ) 15 maddelik bir ölçek elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın ikinci aşamasında, Lisrel 8.80 programı ile doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile 3 alt boyutlu olduğu  doğrulanmıştır. Cronbach's Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı ölçeğin bütünü için .82; alt boyutları için sırayla .81, .71 ve .70 tir. Çalışmanın üçüncü aşamasında ise test tekrar test yöntemi uygulanmış, birinci uygulamada ölçeğin standart sapması ve ortalaması 0.52, 3.95 olarak tespit edilmişken ikinci uygulamada 0.53, 3.91, olarak tespit edilmiştir.. Pearson korelasyon katsayısı ise r= 0.615 ve p=.001 düzeyinde anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda ortaöğretim kurumlarında görevli FeTeMM alanı öğretmenlerinin FeTeMM farkındalık düzeylerini belirlemek için kullanışlı geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek elde edilmiştir.

Abstract The paper describes the different methods of promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics to meet the demand for a qualified workforce in those areas. STEM-oriented (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) high schools combined with dual enrollment opportunities have been proven to be effective methods of promoting engineering careers. The article also discusses the typical curriculum of STEM high schools as well as the selection of college courses for the dual enrollment option.

The following paper culminates a year of research conducted by researchers at E3 Alliance and Texas State University and sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  The following reports on promising practices observed and reported at Manor New Tech High School (MNTH), a Texas Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (T-STEM) high school in Manor Independent School District (ISD) that opened in August 2007.  MNTH follows several high school redesign principles such as small learning communities and rigorous coursework with real-world applications, and is focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).  Through a case study analysis based on teacher surveys, interviews, and site visits, the researchers identify practices that potentially apply to comprehensive high schools committed to improving student outcomes in STEM fields.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.
