The results of the written and drawn parts of the test were similar to the DASTstudies as they depicted common misperceptions of engineers, who were primarily depicted asbuilding houses and bridges or fixing cars. In the study limitations, the researchers noted that

As a community engagement, empowerment, and self-efficacy strategy, STEM-UpTMintends to indirectly impact a long-term return on investment on traditional academicperformance measures. Such a large-scale undertaking is a unique approach to STEM educationawareness. To accomplish this undertaking, STEM-UpTM seeks to drives transformative changeby leveraging the existing cultural richness of the community toward STEM.In its design, STEM-UpTM relies on the parents and teachers as STEM Ambassadors, who areinformed with the tools and resources to change the apprehensions and negativities associatedwith math and science

Early in the evaluation process, we collaborated with RECF to develop the survey, firstcreating survey matrices for the student and Team Leader surveys. The matrices included themain categories of student impact (e.g., interest in STEM, self-efficacy, engagement, teamworkand sportsmanship). Initially, we operationally defined each category, reviewing pertinentliterature as part of the process. Review of the literature helped to identify subcategories in eacharea, which we used to develop survey items to be added to the matrices. The evaluation team aswell as RECF reviewed the items to ensure they measured what we intended to measure. Surveyswere then developed

The underlying motivationaltheories in consideration were the expectancies, values, and costs of implementing cooperativelearning. Another study of teacher motivation discusses the limitations of applying a singlemotivational theory to teacher motivation and thus, presents a model that integrates multiplemotivational theories and frameworks.
