Abstract:
This study looks at the effects of STEM education programs on secondary
school students' involvement and academic achievement. With the use of surveys
and interviews, the study uses a mixed-methods approach to gather data from 80
students enrolled in STEM-focused classes. Increased student engagement and
participation in STEM programs are positively correlated, according to the findings.
The students' improved problem-solving skills and heightened interest in STEM
fields are also revealed by the qualitative analysis of the interview responses.
Academic performance data suggests that children who participate in STEM
education initiatives achieve much higher grades than children in traditional
programs. The results demonstrate how STEM. education programs benefit
students' academic performance and engagement, underscoring the importance of
including experiential learning.
