Background
The Upper Elementary (4-5th) and the Middle and High School (6-12th) Student Attitudes toward STEM Surveys (S-STEM) each contain four scales (sets of surveys items that most confidently describe a single characteristic of the survey-taker when the responses to these items are calculated as a single result). The first five scales consists of Likert-scale questions which ask the respondent about their confidence and attitudes toward math, science, engineering and technology, and 21st-century learning respectively. Final items in the surveys ask students about their attitudes toward 12 different STEM career areas, their performance expectations for themselves in the next year, whether or not they have plans to attend postsecondary school, and whether or not they know adults who work in STEM fields.
Appropriate Uses
The Upper Elementary (4-5th) and Middle/High School (6-12th) S-STEM Surveys are intended to measure changes in students’ confidence and efficacy in STEM subjects, 21st-century learning skills, and interest in STEM careers. The surveys are available to help program coordinators make decisions about possible improvements to their program.
Data and Reporting
The S-STEM surveys collect perceptive data (what respondents think or feel) from students regarding STEM content and careers. Responses are collected through an online system or paper and analyzed. Results reports provide pictures of aggregated participant attitudes.
