Psychometric evidence of a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics career interest survey of Indonesian high school students
Abstract The disparity between the growth of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) job demand and students graduating from STEM areas raises an issue regarding the reason for low interest in STEM careers. An assessment tool is required to investigate this issue. However, the generalizability of existing assessment tools to be conducted cross-culturally becomes a concern. This study aims to report the psychometric evidence of the STEM career interest survey (STEM-CIS) in the Indonesian context using a quantitative design with a stratified random sampling technique. Data from 738 high school students were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The adapted STEM-CIS showed good psychometric evidence as a single measure, a discipline-specific measure, and a social cognitive career theory (SCCT)-specific subscale measure. The reliability values of the adapted STEM-CIS indicated high, confirming its robustness for assessing STEM career interest among Indonesian high school population. These findings support the use of the adapted STEM-CIS as a contextually relevant and validated tool for cross-cultural research on STEM career interest. This study contributes to the global need for culturally adaptable assessment tools.

Creep evolution characteristics and deformation mechanisms of carbonaceous slate under the action of groundwater
Abstract The carbonaceous slate exhibits significant creep characteristics and large deformations during tunnel excavation, especially in groundwater-rich areas. Studying the creep characteristics and deformation mechanism of carbonaceous slate under the influence of groundwater is substantial and essential. Triaxial creep tests of dry and saturated rock samples at different bedding angles were performed to examine the deformation characteristics using the GCTS-RTX1000 test system. The layered surface morphology was analyzed before and after the creep to reveal the deformation mechanisms. The results showed that the softening effect of water causes a significant reduction in the strength of the carbonaceous slates. The transient deformation of saturated samples was greater than that of dry samples due to the water absorption in the pores at a low-stress state. Creep in the saturated rock samples is more pronounced in the first stage compared to the dry samples, and the gap decreases as the stress increases. In the creep processes, the saturated samples manifested the pressure dissolution, debris migration, and deposition in the stratified surface of the particle skeleton under the water and the stress. These results are helpful for better understanding the creep characteristics of the carbonaceous slate in water-rich areas.
