While it is noteworthy that the pseudoscience beliefs of the students with primary school graduate fathers were higher than the others, the difference was not statistically significant. It's also revealed that pseudoscience beliefs of the secondary school students differ significantly by gender, in favor of female students, and by grade level, in favor of upper-grade students. However, despite the higher hopes and goals towards STEM education scores in students with university graduate fathers than the others, the difference was not statistically significant. As a result of the study, it was found that the hopes and goals of students towards STEM statistically differ by gender, in favor of female students, by grade level, in favor of lower-grade students, and maternal education level, in favor of students whose mothers had a bachelor's degree or higher. The "Hopes and Goals Survey" and "Pseudoscience Belief Scale" were used for data collection.
A total of 351 secondary school students participated in this study. In addition, the correlation between the students' pseudo-science beliefs and their hopes and goals towards STEM education was also investigated. Therefore, this study investigated whether secondary school students' hopes and goals towards STEM education and pseudoscience beliefs differ by gender, grade level, and parental education level. However, an increase in the interest in science causes an increase in pseudo-scientific beliefs, which are far from being scientific. In line with this, STEM education, which is the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, has become the center of attention. In today's world, where science and technology are developing rapidly, raising science-literate individuals has gained importance in order to keep up with the requirements of the digital age.
