Pre/Post STEM Survey for 4th and 5th Grade
Assessment Type: Survey
This pre/post survey was developed for In4All’s (formerly BEC) STEM™ Connect program, focused on 4th and 5th grade students. The evaluation investigated the impact the program had in two key areas: career interest and attitude. The expectation is that the students will: (1) improve their attitude/behavior toward math and science and (2) increase their interest in pursuing a math or science career. To measure their attitude toward math and science, the Attitude Toward Science in School Assessment (ATSSA) was administered. This instrument was developed by Germann (1988) to assess attitudes toward science among 7th to 10th grade students. Our survey expanded to include the topic of math, replacing the word ‘math’ with ‘science’ in all survey items. Additional items were added to measure their interest in math or science-related careers. For three school years, the survey was administered to 4th-grade students. While the language has not been tested with 4th graders specifically, it was determined that the preference was to administer the original validated tool rather than risk compromising results by changing the language. Additional items were also added to the post-test survey to measure opinions on the presentations, activities, volunteers, and whether the student felt an increased interest in math and science as a result of the program.

Read ReviewsRobotics and GPS/GIS Interest Questionnaire (4-H)
Assessment Type: 38 closed-ended questions
The tool was created by 4-H Nebraska to measure students' (7-10th graders) learning and attitudes towards science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The tool also assesses students' attitude about GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and GIS (Geographical Imaging Systems).

Science Learning Activation
Assessment Type: Survey
The Learning Activation Lab is a national research and design effort to learn and demonstrate how to activate children in ways that ignite persistent engagement in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics learning and innovation. This particular assessment was designed to be used with 10-14 year olds, and are used to assess an individual across each of the four dimensions of science learning activation. These scales can be used concurrently to measure the multi-dimensional construct of science learning activation or separately to measure individual dimensions.

Read ReviewsShort Version Attitudes toward Mathematics Inventory (SHORT ATMI)
Assessment Type: Self-assessment
This is a shortened version of the Attitudes Towards Mathematics Inventory (short ATMI), it measures four subscale: mathematics enjoyment; mathematics motivation; self-confidence in mathematics; perceived value of mathematics. This assessments is a shorter more up-to-date version of the original tool, and it addresses the issue of an all western sample. Participants were able to complete this survey in less than 10 minutes, it is good when time is limited.

Read ReviewsSTEM Learning Activation Survey
Assessment Type: Survey
Designed to be used with 10-14 year-olds, these survey scales are used to assess an individual across multiple dimensions of STEM learning activation. Please note that these can be used in conjunction with the scientific sensemaking scale included above. These scales can be used concurrently to measure the multi-dimensional construct of STEM learning activation or separately to measure individual dimensions.
