Stem Career

This article explores why some Flemish secondary school students’ study choices are content-wise not in line with their career aspirations and, to some extent, follow gender and ethnic patterns. We use 83 semi-structured interviews, conducted with students in academic and technical tracks in three Flemish secondary schools. Compared to female pupils, male pupils are more likely to enrol in lower status tracks whose curricular substance prepares them for a STEM career (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Ethnic majority female pupils seem to adjust their study choices better to their aspirations, or the other way round. However, especially when changing track or field of study, ethnic majority female pupils are more likely to adapt their aspirations consistent with gender norms. While ethnic minority female pupils are more likely than ethnic majority female pupils to have STEM aspirations, their goals do not always seem to correspond with the study choices they have made. Additionally, perceived discrimination and family aspirations further impact both study choices and aspirations of ethnic minority pupils. Gendered study recommendations and choices, favouring male pupils in STEM careers, especially make that female pupils make study choices that are in terms of curriculum not always in line with their aspirations.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) areas are integral content disciplines in all economies. Although most countries have and continue to ensure quality science (S) and Mathematics (M) education for primary (elementary) and secondary school students, the technology (T) and engineering (E) content areas tend not to be regarded as core to national curricula in the same way that science and mathematics are regarded as essential. This article discusses efforts in various countries to better promote and integrate Technology and Engineering Education (TEE) in schools. This paper highlights common themes and argues that we can learn from each other’s efforts in TEE. We argue that dialogue across nations can help us to build international STEM education collaboration networks, better understand the nature of STEM and how to better engage pupils and students in STEM subjects, and work towards gaining inputs to national TEE policy that can leverage positive change.

The Relationship

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education is an approach that develops 21st century skills such as career choice in science and engineering, entrepreneurship, innovation, creative and critical thinking. The acronym STEM stands for the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. When looking from the past to the present, it has been observed that there has been an increase in STEM studies. However, there was no study which was conducted on STEM education in Turkey mostly consisted of studies which aimed at determining the interests, attitudes and achievements of students and prospective teachers, and there was no study on the relationship between students' tendencies to technology in STEM education and their STEM perceptions. It is necessary for societies that can rapidly keep up with developing technology and innovations Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the perceptions of secondary school students towards STEM fields, determining their attitudes towards technology, students' attitudes towards technology and its use in lessons, and the total perception levels of STEM fields and sub-dimensions. The study was completed in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. The data of the study were analyzed by quantitative survey model. In the study, ‘Attitude towards Technology Scale’ and ‘STEM Perception Scale’ were used as data collection tools. In the tests applied, the data were analyzed using the Independent Sample t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis. According to data analysis and findings, it was determined that there was a moderately significant negative relationship between the students' attitude level towards technology, and the STEM perception level. In the light of the findings, the importance of STEM education was emphasized and recommendations were made to program designers, researchers and practitioners on this subject.

Preparation for profiled training should start within the first years of schooling. Even at the elementary school children can be conditionally divided into three types, dependent on the object of their predominant activity: «thinkers», «engineers», «artists». At primary school these three types are further branched out into eight metadisciplinary areas depending on work methods used: individual, family, society, nature, art, science, technology, semiotic systems. At the high school level substantive objective profiles are introduced, further supplemented by subprofiles, which include disciplines of specialization and deepening. To facilitate personal guidance and support for primary and secondary school students, and personalized profiled education at the high school restructuring of educational content is needed.

Science, Technology and Society (STS) issues encompass social dilemmas with conceptual or technological links to science. Investigating the ranking STS issues that given by secondary school students and their teachers in Yemen is the major aim of this paper. It reviews the literature in order to seek for STS issues that should be infused in physics curriculum in Yemen. Then, it reports the results of the survey that measure the ranking of Science, Technology and Society issues. A valid and reliable questionnaire containing STS issues is administered on a sample of 465 students and 34 teachers from 15 schools in Sana’a city. The results of the study revealed that human health and disease, water supplies, air pollution, and energy shortages are the most important issues that should be infused in physics curriculum in Yemen. When the mean scores of students and teachers were compared, the results showed no significant differences. Implications for research and development in science education are discussed.

Abstract In an era of Education 5.0 where technology is advancing, Science Technology Engineering Mathematics education (STEM) is one of the important aspects. Teachers play an important role to support students in developing better awareness towards the importance of STEM education. Unfortunately, recent statistics show that there is a lack of students’ participation in choosing STEM education. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine the teacher’s perception on factors which might influence students’ lack of interest towards Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) in secondary schools located in Kota Bharu. There are several factors that affect students’ interest in STEM education which are attitude, management policy, learning method and gender of students. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 290 secondary school teachers in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. A combination of stratified sampling and cluster sampling technique was applied to collect data. Pearson Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression revealed that management policy and learning methods were significantly associated with teachers’ perception. Findings from this study indicated that it may be effective to increase the students’ interest towards STEM education by improving the management policies and learning method.
