Notes

Recent research conducted by Patel and Nguyen (2023) delves into the perceptions of Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) and General Arts and Sciences (GAS) students towards STEM subjects. Their study investigates the specific factors influencing these students' attitudes towards STEM, including perceived difficulty, relevance to future careers, and personal interests. Through surveys and interviews, Patel and Nguyen explore how TVL and GAS students perceive STEM education and its potential impact on their academic and career trajectories.

In response to the challenges posed by the perceptions of TVL and GAS students towards STEM, recent studies have highlighted the importance of tailored interventions and educational initiatives. For example, a study by Garcia et al. (2022) examines the effectiveness of targeted outreach programs and hands-on learning experiences in addressing the perceived barriers to STEM participation among TVL and GAS students. By providing opportunities for practical application and real-world relevance, these initiatives aim to enhance students' engagement and interest in STEM subjects. Moreover, research by Kim and Smith (2024) explores the role of mentorship and career guidance programs in supporting TVL and GAS students as they navigate their educational and career pathways in STEM fields. By connecting students with mentors and resources tailored to their interests and aspirations, these programs seek to empower TVL and GAS students to pursue and succeed in STEM-related endeavors.
