Abstract (English): When the relevant studies in the literature are examined, it is seen that the general tendencies of the students towards STEM professions are evaluated by using quantitative data collection tools in the majority of the studies. In this study, a descriptive study with qualitative elements was carried out in order to determine the opinions of middle school students about STEM professions. The study group of the research consists of 40 middle school students studying in the central district of Uşak. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the students and the data obtained were described using the content analysis method. As a result of the research, it has been determined that middle school students have superficial knowledge about STEM professions, and students who are self-sufficient in Science and Mathematics and who are interested in science are more willing to choose these occupational groups in the future. In addition, it was also determined that technology-based professions among STEM professions are more popular among students, and that the opinions of parents and teachers play a major role in students' vocational preferences.

Abstract (Turkish): Literatürde yer alan ilgili araştırmalar incelendiğinde yapılan çalışmaların çoğunluğunda nicel veri toplama araçları kullanılarak öğrencilerin FeTeMM mesleklerine yönelik genel eğilimlerinin değerlendirildiği görülmektedir. Bu araştırmada ise ortaokul öğrencilerinin FeTeMM mesleklerine yönelik görüşlerini belirlemek amacı ile nitel unsurlar barındıran betimsel bir çalışma yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Uşak ili Merkez ilçesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 40 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Öğrenciler ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş ve elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda ortaokul öğrencilerinin FeTeMM mesleklerine ilişkin yüzeysel bilgilere sahip olduğu, Fen Bilimleri ve Matematik derslerinde kendini yeterli gören ve bilime ilgi duyan öğrencilerin bu meslek gruplarını gelecekte tercih etme konusunda daha istekli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca FeTeMM mesleklerinden teknoloji tabanlı mesleklerin öğrenciler tarafından daha çok rağbet gördüğü, öğrencilerin mesleki tercihlerinde aile ve öğretmenlerinin görüşlerinin de büyük rol oynadığı da belirlenen sonuçlar arasındadır.
