STEM Magnet High Schools and Student Intent to Declare a STEM Major
Educational Forum, v88 n1 p79-93 2024
This study employed design-based logistic regression to examine the extent to which attending a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) magnet high school, school demographics, and student-level factors explain a student's intent to declare a STEM major in the first semester of college. The results show only student-level factors are statistically significantly associated with a student's likelihood of intending to declare a STEM major.
