Influence of Student’s STEM Self-efficacy on STEM and Physics Career Choice

The human mind is a remarkable instrument that allows you to sort through seemingly
unconnected variables and generate a relation to a specific issue. In the research study that I’ve
found, it explores the role of self-efficacy in STEM towards STEM and Physics Professions based
on gender and types of school. This study was entitled “Influence of Student’s STEM Self-
efficacy on STEM and Physics Career Choice” that we’re produced and published by the Faculty
of Education, the National University of Malaysia. I’m thinking of doing a replication of this
study to see whether it’s original core findings can be applied here in the Philippines,
specifically within students in Lucban, Quezon.
This research study is very applicable for quantitative research. Researchers will
investigate if there is a favorable and substantial correlation between student’s STEM self-
efficacy and interest in all STEM and Physics courses based on gender and types of school.
Moreover, the study's goals were to establish the level of STEM self-efficacy and interest in
STEM careers, compare self-efficacy and interest in STEM careers by gender and school type,
and look into the correlation between STEM self-efficacy and interest in Physics careers.
Basically, this study’s research method is correlational research because it includes observing
two variables in order to find a statistically significant link between them. Also, researchers
don’t need to use scientific methodology to modify variables in order to agree or disagree with
a hypothesis because it doesn’t have one. Eventually, female students have much lower self-
efficacy levels and self-efficacy strength than their male counterparts, according to the study.
This basic conclusion, however, does not apply to all gender-personality types (Fallan & Opstad,
2016). Due to this factor that not all students are the same especially when it comes to their
self-efficacy, the variables on this study having a positive correlation in the past can have a
negative correlation relationship in the future.

interested to conduct quantitative research here in the Philippines.
