The Student Interest in Technology and Science (SITS) survey is composed of 5 sub-sections assessing the following dimensions: interest in learning science, using technology to learn science, science careers, technology careers, and attitudes toward biotechnology.
In 1984, research was begun in The Netherlands to determine the attitude toward and concept of technology held by students aged 12-15 years. An instrument was developed and a large scale sample was taken in that country. In 1987, Dr. William E.
The instrument documentation reports the results of a study examining the predictive validity of a computer attitude instrument. The researchers attempted to determine the extent to which this instrument predicts student learning.
The STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) measures interest in STEM classes and careers, particularly in middle school students. Leveraging social cognitive career theory, the STEM-CIS contains four subscales: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The STEM Semantics Survey measures student interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics as well as interest in STEM careers. The survey is comprised of five scales each with five items measured on a 7-point scale.
