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 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.

Read ReviewsStudent Attitudes toward STEM Survey (S-STEM)
Assessment Type: Survey
The S-STEM consists of two surveys: One for upper elementary grades, and one for middle/ high school students. Students' attitudes toward Science, Math, Engineering, and Technology, and 21st Century Learning are measured. The instrument is well validated and asks students about their interests in STEM in addition to their attitude, though the survey can seem repetitive for some students.

Read ReviewsTeacher Efficacy and Attitudes Toward STEM Survey
Assessment Type: Survey
The surveys can be used for measuring or monitoring change in teachers' efficacy and attitudes in STEM subjects, attitudes toward STEM, instructional practices and technology use. The 5 surveys (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and one for Elementary Teacher Efficacy) each have 6 sub-scales which include teaching efficacy, outcome expectancy, student technology use, frequency of instructional practices, and attitudes toward 21st-century learning. It is a validated measure that provides a multifaceted understanding of STEM teacher attitudes, efficacy, and practice. Although it can be an advantage to focus on subject matter for some (science, math, etc.) it could also be perceived as a limitation when evaluating integrated STEM approaches; it just depends upon your need.
