An exploration of math attitudes and STEM career interests for community college students
Page: 1121
Survey data for community college algebra students reveals relationships between a student’s attitudes towards mathematics and the student’s STEM career interests. Results show that while students may not always have a clear understanding of the tasks related to a chosen STEM career area, the student’s math interest predicts interest in some STEM careers and not others.
