A predictive analysis of STEM vocation through students’ attitudes to school science classes by María-Antonia Manassero-Mas, Ángel Vázquez-Alonso

“…Six school science class items significantly predicted the students’ degree of STEM vocation by sharing 46.1% of their common variance. In decreasing order of prediction power, the six significant predictors are “liking school science better than most other subjects,” “helping to understand sustainability solutions,” “becoming more critical and skeptical,” “importance of science for our way of life,” “difficulty of school science,” and “opening my eyes to new and exciting jobs.”DiscusionThe implications of this study for promoting STEM vocations suggest that teachers carefully cultivate those relevant characteristics of school science classes through appropriate pedagogies and inclusive and equitable contexts for all, especially for girls.…”
