The absence of a context factor evaluation study instrument for the implementation of STEM education elements led to this study being implemented. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Contextual Factors Questionnaire for the Implementation of STEM Education Elements in teacher teaching and learning. Based on the literature reviewed and analysis of the existing relevant questionnaires, the constructs and items identified contributing to the context of the implementation of STEM elements in teacher teaching and learning were successfully developed. The Context Factor Questionnaire went through face validation and content validity involving 13 experts, meanwhile, the construct validity and reliability of the instrument were checked by analyzing the questionnaire items using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) Version 25.0. A total of 825 secondary school teachers were involved in this study. The factor loading for each item was in the range of 0.538 to 0.819, while the reliability value (alpha) of each item was, a = 0.965. The validity and reliability results indicate the instrument is suitable to be administered for the actual study.
