Increasing middle school student interest in STEM careers with videos of scientists

Öz:

Öğrenciler, ortaokulda STEM kariyerlerini takip etmedeki arzu ve yeteneklerini etkileyecek kararlar almaktadırlar. STEM kariyerleri (Bilim, Teknoloji, Mühendislik, Matematik) hakkında ortaokul öğrencilerine doğru bilgi sağlanması öğrencileri dersler ve kariyer seçimleri hakkında daha bilgili ve bilinçli seçimler yapmasına yardımcı olur. Öğrencilerin bilimin doğası ile ilgili kariyerleri anlamasına yardımcı olmalarını sağlayacak pratik yöntemler sınırlıdır. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışmanın amacı STEM kariyer imkânları hakkında öğrencileri bilgi vermek için STEM profesyonelleriyle video görüşme yöntemini incelemektir. İşlem ve karşılaştırma grubunun STEM kariyerlerini takip etmeleri ile alakalı öğrenci ilgilerini STEM profesyonelleriyle olan video görüşmelerin seyredilmeden önce ve seyredildikten sonra karşılaştırmak için ANCOVA analizi kullanılmıştır. Ortaokul çocuklarının STEM kariyerlerine olan ilgisinin video görüşmelerinden sonra artması bu metodun uygulanabilirliğini kanıtlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada STEM ile ilgili bir cinsiyet farkı tespit edilmemiştir.
