STEM students are proficient in the field of media analysis to some extent with an overall GPA. 24 SD 0.51. They have moderate knowledge regarding examining media influence. Biology Research Topics for Undergraduates. 41. Investigate the effects of pollutants on local plant species. Microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning in a specific habitat. Understanding the genetics of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Impact of urbanization on bird populations and biodiversity. Investigation of the role of pheromones. Background It has been reported that students' positive perceptions of scientists or engineers are positively related to their career aspirations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, STEM. However, other research indicates that positive perceptions of experts in these fields do not necessarily lead students to seek out science, technology, engineering and mathematics, STEM, educators and stakeholders in South Africa are interested in how STEM students pursue careers. decisions due to the lack of these essential skills. Although various factors including family, teachers, peers and career interest were reported, the regression coefficients between the three factors stereotypes, school and family and self-concept in the domains STEM students show the following result: Students with higher levels of experience stereotypes, for example, women have less skills or interest in STEM subjects, women in STEM should be like men report lower self-concepts in STEM. The regression coefficients between the three factors stereotypes, school and family and students' STEM self-concept show the following result: students with higher levels of experienced stereotypes, e.g. women have fewer skills or interest in STEM subjects, women in STEM should be like men report lower self-concepts in STEM, Background Informal learning environments increase students' interest in STEM, e.g. Mohr. -Schroeder et al. School Sci: 291-301, 2014 and increases the chances of a student pursuing a STEM career Kitchen et al. Sci: 529-547, 2018. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an informal STEM summer. In the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEM stream of the Philippines K curriculum, students are exposed to a wide range of topics relating to real-world situations.
