“…The questionnaire consisted of two sections; five items on school leaders' demographic characteristics, and importance of skills in mentoring staff and engaging parents. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability value of the instrument was reported as 0.96, which is within the acceptable range (DeVellis, 2003in White, 2015. Schools leaders were required to indicate their degree of agreement using a 5-point Likert scale (1-Not important at all, 2-Very little important, 3-Moderately important, 4-Important, 5-Very important) on the importance of these two skills.…”

Pursuing study at the higher learning institution largely depends on the academic performance of a student. However, struggles of school community in getting their students ready for college are reported. Studies consistently show that school leadership has a great influence on students’ learning, a result of quality teaching and learning. There are two main roles of school leaders that affects the teaching and learning quality: mentoring the teachers and engaging the parents in the students’ learning. Studies about the school leaders’ perception on acquiring these two skills are lacking. This study aims to survey the school leaders’ perception towards the importance of having these two skills with regards to the gender, age group, school level (primary or secondary school), and school location using a questionnaire. It is distributed via online platform to all the school leaders of a state of which 477 had responded. The results show that the school leaders regard both skills as important. Statistically significant difference was reported in both skills by school location and in skills on mentoring staffs by the school leaders’ age group.

The STEM field faces challenges related to uncertainties about the number and composition of skilled workforce. Measuring STEM career motivation (STEM-CM) of students at an early grade is crucial to improve the quality of science learning and to engage more students in STEM fields. This study focuses on the gender and academic level issues related to STEM career motivation. A total of 1583 elementary and middle school students participated in investigating two research questions: (1) Do gender and academic level impact students’ STEM career motivation? (2) How to classify students based on their STEM-CM? This study revealed that gender was not significantly related to STEM-CM. Nonetheless, academic level impacted significantly with STEM-CM where students’ motivation declined from elementary to middle school. Furthermore, the clustering method elicited five groups of students for consideration in designing STEM teaching activities. The influenced factors of students’ motivation for STEM careers were discussed. Finally, customized learning to improve student engagement in STEM was recommended.
