Abstract
The intent of this study was to develop an
instrument to measure the current level of attitude
that students’ exhibit toward STEM education.
The Concerns-Based Adoption Model,
Taxonomy of Education Objectives – Handbook
II, and other pertinent instruments were utilized
as sources of inspiration for the instrument. The
selected items were submitted to a panel of
experts representative of STEM education. Initial
pilot testing refined the instrument through principal
components analysis and Cronbach’s alpha
coefficients. The identified principal components
aligned well with reviewed instruments.
Reliability coefficients were strong for each of
the principal components.
