Entrepreneurial self-efficacy is measured by a 6-item self-assessment scale. The items on this scale represent competencies related to business/ entrepreneurial success, and were developed based on expert interviews with business leaders (Marlino & Wilson, 2003). Self-ratings in each area are summed and the overall mean used to create a composite entrepreneurship self-efficacy measure.Entrepreneurial intentions are measured by asking participants to rate their interest in starting/ owning their own business on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = definitely not interested, 5 =extremely interested).

The Twenty Statements Test (TST) is an instrument used to measure self concept. It was devised in 1954 by Manfred Kuhn & Thomas McPartland, with the aim of finding a standardized way to measure assumptions and self-attitudes. The test takes the form of a survey, with respondents asked to give up to twenty responses to the prompts, "Who am I?" or "I am..."; it is not mandatory that respondents give twenty answers.The test usually only takes a few minutes. The test is unusual in utilising an open-question methodology, making coding non-straighforward. Kuhn (1960) has stated that responses to the

The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was introduced to the education research field as a theoretical framework for understanding teacher knowledge required for effective technology integration. Seven components are addressed in the TPACK framework: Technology Knowledge, Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, Pedagogical Content Knowledge, Technological Content Knowledge, Technological Pedagogical Knowledge, and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge.The link below provides access to the instrument and documentation about the instrument.Authors provide instrument

The Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (also known as the Ohio State Teacher Efficacy Scale (OSTES)) is a self assessment designed to gain a better understanding of the kinds of things that create difficulties for teachers in their school activities.

The Student Attitude Toward STEM was developed to indicate students’ attitudes toward STEM, so that educational institutions that are implementing a STEM-based program can ascertain if their program is having the desired influence on their students.

Since its development in the 1970s, researchers, evaluators, and change facilitators have been using the Stages of Concern (SoC) Questionnaire to assess teacher concerns about new programs and practices. The purpose of this questionnaire is to determine what people are thinking about when using various programs or practices. It is intended to assess their levels of concerns at various times during the adoption process.The link below provides access to the instrument as well as documentation about the instrument.

The Spatial Thinking Ability Test (STAT) integrates geography content knowledge and spatial skills. It consists of sixteen multiple-choice questions of eight types including: (1) comprehending orientation and direction; (2) comparing map information to graphic information; (3) choosing the best location based on several spatial factors; (4) imagining a slope profile based on a topographic map; (5) correlating spatially distributed phenomena; (6) mentally visualizing 3-D images based on 2-D information; (7) overlaying and dissolving maps; and (8) comprehending geographic features represented as

Spatial ability is required in technical and design jobs where drawing and plans are used, for example; architecture, surveying, engineering, and design. It is also important in some branches of science and technology where three-dimensional components are interacting. Spatial ability tests are administered by employers to job seekers during interviews. Practice test 1 includes 45 multiple choice questions.
