School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects for the present and future society is clear. With assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the possibility of an analysis on student‐related variables predicting results in STEM areas opens. The aim was to identify the PISA
