In a recent project, Chu et al. developed a series of surveyinstruments to measure youth’s interest, self-efficacy and self-identity with respect to makingand science [2]. The survey tools measured maker identity, self-efficacy and interest, as well as,science self-efficacy and interest. Additionally, the researchers measured the students’ STEM-career possible selves and interest. In a year-long study with 121 middle-school students (ages 8-11) who participated in weekly maker activities, they found that

Expectancy value theory(EVT) indicates that students will be more motivated to learn topics that they believe will beimportant in their future, due to utility value. Self-efficacy beliefs also contribute to learning.Given this framework, the research

Self-efficacy has also been identified to influence ‘motivation, persistence, anddetermination’ in overcoming challenges in a career pathway [8].

We arealso interested in understanding the differences in extracurricular experiences of Hispanicstudents due to the role that these experiences play in student self-efficacy and academicengagement [27].

Other factors may influence the effectiveness of instructional methods, including labgroup composition and gender. Even with effective implementation methods, there can also bedifferences in learning based on the composition of lab groups. For example, Ding, Bosker, andHarskamp [5] found that females in single-gender dyads significantly outperformed females inmixed-gender dyads. For males, this pattern was not evident. One factor that could impactfemales’ performances in lab groups is self-efficacy.

not to teach the topic, or teach the subject in asuperficial manner [17]. Since the teachers have a paramount impact on students’ futurecareer choices, the first step to enhance students’ interest in STEM fields is to improveteachers’ confidence and self-efficacy with engineering and STEM concepts. Onceteachers have a chance to learn and implement engineering principles, they arecomfortable sharing this knowledge with their students and can present the connectionsbetween math, science, and engineering and the real world [18]. In light of these issues,it’s critical to develop professional development activities to expose teachers to authenticexperiential learning activities and help teachers to improve their abilities and knowledgein these
