INTERVIEW GUIDE

Good day, my name is Leander S. Lentejas and I am currently conducting research on

"Students Motivations for Choosing STEM Strand". As a student myself, I understand the

importance of hearing the voices of fellow students, especially when it comes to making

important decisions such as choosing a specific academic strand.

Your valuable insights and experiences will greatly contribute to the success of this

research, and I am truly grateful for your time and participation. Your input will help shed light

on the factors that influence students in choosing the STEM strand, and how we can improve the

educational system to better support the interests and aspirations of our students.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Question No. 1. What are the most common factors that motivate high school students to

choose the STEM strand?

Respondent No. 1: Personally, an most common factor is kun STEM-related ba an

kuhaon na course san student sa college. Like for example, if they want to be sn engineer,

they will pursue STEM because it is aligned to their field of work sa future. Asya an

nagiging factor para mamotivate an student na pilion an STEM. Pero siguro, usa lat na

factor is an an family. My brother and sister are both products of STEM so bagan sira

liwat an nagmotivate sa akon para pilion an STEM.

 Respondent No. 2: Common factors na nagmomotivate sa akon kuan related an STEM

Question No. 2: How does the career aspirations of students relate to their decision to

pursue

the STEM strand?

Respondent No. 1: The career aspirations of students relate to their decision to pursue

STEM strand by considering whether may advantage ba an STEM strand sa imo career

aspirations. Sa akon, igpupursue ko an engineering so I took STEM kay more on math

man gud sya tas magiging advantage or magagamit ko liwat an mga knowledge nakon na

nahihibaruan yana sa future nakon pag engineering student na ak.

Respondent No. 2: Karuyag ko kasi mag civil engineering sanglit nag decide ak na mag

STEM.
 Respondent No. 3: Since the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and

Mathematics) strand offers a variety of professional prospects and job security, students'
