The study explored the effectiveness of differentiated instruction in enhancing positive attitude towards learning STEM subjects. It employed quantitative approach with purposive sampling method. A total of 102 students of grade IX participated in the study. The study found out the mean of the differences (pre-test and post-test) was 2.00 (SD = 1.9836) and the paired-samples t-test indicated that this mean of the differences is not significantly greater than zero. This indicated that the differentiated instruction was not effective in developing positive attitudes towards STEM learning. It is recommended to have an intensive study on the differentiated instruction in enhancing positive attitude towards learning STEM subjects by taking small sample size with one specific STEM subject. Further, the present study focused on only some students of grade IX, a study may be carried out across schools to get a deep understanding of the subject.
