Abstract

AbstractSchool STEM Culture—an aspect of culture within a school community—is defined as the beliefs, values, practices, and resources in STEM fields as perceived by students, parents, teachers, and administrators and counselors within a school. This study validates the STEM Culture Assessment Tool (STEM‐CAT), an instrument intended to advance the use of the School STEM Culture construct within the research community. Internal consistency was determined through the use of Cronbach's alpha and factor analyses, and the instrument was found to be a reliable measure of School STEM Culture. The instrument can be used in future research to quantify School STEM Culture to determine if interventions change the culture of a school to further STEM education.
