Özet:

This study aims to determine the interest levels of high school students in science-technology-engineering and mathematics (FeTeMM) professions. Research is a type of scanning model that is within the scan of the quantum research method. The sample of the study consists of 758 students who continue their studies at 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels in 10 schools located in the Elazığ province center, district and villages. In the study, Kier, Blanchard, Osborne and Albert (2013) developed the scale "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS)" used a Turkish-adjusted state. The work of adaptation of the scale was carried out by Koyunlu-Sunly, Dökme and Famous (2016) and was named "FeTeMM's Care for Careers". The scale is made up of 4 sub-dimensions (the main professions, the technology professions, the engineering professions and the mathematical professions) of 40 items in 5 likers. The average, mode, median, distinction and pressure values, which are the normal indicators of variables, have been studied. The results of the evaluation of the values were determined that the data obtained showed normal distribution, and on this basis the independent sampling test, variance analysis and Tukey test were used. The study found that students who participated in the study had significant differences in their interest levels for the FeTeMM professions, depending on gender, where they live, the educational conditions of the parents and the income conditions of the parents. The lower dimensions of the interest scale for the FeTeMM professions are also compared for each variable. In the lower dimensions, there is also a significant difference in interest levels to the FeTeMM professions according to the variables. According to the results obtained at the end of the study, there were recommendations.
