摘要：Inthis study, it is aimed to develop a measurement tool to be used to determinethe motivation of high school students towards STEM fields. 29-item motivationscale trial form for STEM fields was applied to 462 high school students intheir 2016-2017 academic years, studying in four schools of Kayseri. ExploratoryFactor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed forthe construct validity through the data set obtained from the study group.According to the results of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), it wasdetermined that the scale consisted of 22 items and 4 sub-dimensions. Scalesubdimensions were named as: confidence, relevance, attention, satisfaction. Itwas determined that the four-factor structure related to the scale explained78% of the total variance. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was 97 for the wholescale.Inthis study, it is aimed to develop a measurement tool to be used to determinethe motivation of high school students towards STEM fields. 29-item motivationscale trial form for STEM fields was applied to 462 high school students intheir 2016-2017 academic years, studying in four schools of Kayseri.
