This study investigated the relationship between middle school students’ computational thinking skills and their STEM career interest and attitudes toward inquiry. A total of 289 students (146 female, 143 male) enrolled in four different middle schools in one province of Turkey participated in this study. Three different data collection tools were used in the study: Science Technology Engineering Mathematics-Career Interest Survey, computational thinking scale, and the scale of attitude towards inquiry. The data were analyzed using the structural regression model, which is one of the structural equation models. A significant correlation was found between the middle school students’ computational thinking skills and their STEM career interest and attitudes toward inquiry. In this context, efforts can be made to develop computational thinking skills, such as creativity, algorithmic thinking, cooperative thinking, and critical thinking to increase middle school students’ STEM career interest and attitudes toward inquiry.

这项研究调查了中学生的计算思维能力与他们的STEM职业兴趣和探究态度之间的关系。土耳其一个省的四所不同中学的289名学生（146名女性，143名男性）参加了这项研究。研究中使用了三种不同的数据收集工具：科学技术工程数学-职业兴趣调查，计算思维量表和对查询的态度量表。使用结构回归模型之一的结构回归模型分析数据。发现中学生的计算机思维能力与他们的STEM职业兴趣和探究态度之间存在显着相关性。在这种情况下，可以努力发展计算机思维能力，
