The Croatian Science Foundation in 2015 started to found JOBSTEM research project and this paper will present and discuss main project foundations, grounded in contemporary theories of academic achievement, self-competence beliefs and vocational interests. The project is based on a longitudinal research design, as a suitable methodological framework for responding to complex formulated research questions. A total of 1920 primary school students and their parents/guardians from 16 schools will participate in the study. Students will be grouped in three age cohorts, which will be followed longitudinally through three measurement waves. The additional goal of the project is to implement a STEM intervention program and evaluate its’ effects by using two- group pre- and post-test randomized experimental design.
