Chapter Highlights

  • This study adds to the literature on STEM identity by reconceptualizing a quantitative instrument to examine aspects of two different identity frameworks.
  • We conducted this study to inquire and answer this research question: What are Brazilian high school students’ awareness, perceived ability, value, and commitment to science and mathematics?
  • Our results suggest that students are more aware of science than mathematics and that while they prefer science over mathematics, not many students indicated that they enjoyed taking these courses.
  • Additionally, we found that, in terms of students' perceived ability, more students found mathematics to be challenging than science.
  • Despite the general lack of perceived ability of the students in mathematics and science shown by our results, we found that most students valued both mathematics and science.
  • Surprisingly, our study revealed no gender differences in STEM identity between male and female students.
