Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary analysis of a case study which investigated students’ perceptions of STEM education in terms of (i) STEM interests, (ii) STEM values, and (iii) STEM- related career interests. The participants were 122 Grade-2 students (i.e., K8) from a secondary school in Hong Kong. Through a questionnaire-based survey, quantitative data were gathered from the participants before they were engaged in a STEM education program. Results showed that, before the program, there were connections between the participants’ STEM interests, STEM values and STEM-related career interests. Furthermore, boys demonstrated higher STEM-related career interests than girls.
