Özet

Problem Statement: Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has recently become a remarkable research topic, especially in developed countries as a result of the skilled workforce required in the fields of the STEM. Considering that professional tendencies are revealed at early ages, determining students' interest in STEM careers is important for Turkey's workforce. The question, "How can Turkish middle school students' interest in STEM careers be determined?" constitutes the problem statement of this study.
