SCCT shows the impact of interest and self-efficacy, learningexperiences, personal inputs and environmental influences on choice actions, persistence andsatisfaction.Likewise, disciplinary identity theory [12], [13] describes how students’ perceived feelings oftheir competence/performance, recognition, interest, and sense of belonging form their identities.In this framework (Figure 1), identity has been defined using four sub-constructs includingcompetence/performance, recognition, interest, and sense of belonging [14]. Student interest isdefined by their engagement with respect to a topic. Competence/performance refers to astudent’s self-confidence in understanding a particular topic and feeling

However, localprogramming poses challenges as it is highly dependent volunteers’ self-efficacy and heterogenousin available resources and knowledge capital to obtain national uniformity. To the authors’knowledge, limited to no information about chapter-based programming or its evolution isavailable in the literature from these organizations.

more likely to blame a lack of hard work or being treated unfairly.On the other hand, men were more likely to attribute success to their abilities, while the womenwere more likely to attribute success to outside help.Consistent with this finding, much of the research suggests that women’s persistence inengineering is tied to their self-efficacy in the field. Self-efficacy “refers to beliefs in one’scapabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to produce givenattainments.”[5] This includes dimensions of confidence in one’s abilities, commitment to achosen path, and positive feedback with respect to accomplishments. It is based on anindividual’s perception, not always in agreement with an objective assessment, of

women from choosing STEMmajors and careers take shape early in a girl’s life. These factors include poor science identity,low self-efficacy in math, gender stereotypes and stereotype threat, lack of role models,misalignment between perception of STEM careers and personal values, and low interest inSTEM subjects. For example, VanLeuvan (2004) found that girls’ interest in math and sciencedropped by about 15% between middle and high school. Moreover, low confidence and self-efficacy in STEM subjects form as early as grade six (Heaverlo et al., 2013). Early interventionto mitigate negative influences can ultimately have an effect on a women’s choice to enterSTEM (Young, Ortiz, & Young 2017; Bieri Buschor, Berweber, Keck Frei, & Kappler

The construct of Identity has become one of the most useful tools forunderstanding and assessing the experiences of students from underrepresented groups withinundergraduate and graduate STEM programs. Indeed, a strong STEM identity has been shown to bepowerfully related to a students’ interest in STEM fields, beliefs about their own capabilities withinSTEM (i.e., self-efficacy), and motivation to persist to graduation (Collins, 2018). However, research hasalso shown that incompatibility

Students’ sense ofbelonging, psychological safety, and decision-making processes about their future often alignwith their interests and curiosity, but anxiety can negatively influence these perceptions. Anxietycan affect children’s strategic behavior by discouraging them from choosing advanced strategiesand methods or even considering such options in the first place.

Time constraints on completing activities, promotion concerns, andvariations in expectations contribute to these higher stress levels; this is particularly true for women ofcolor at four-year colleges [3]. Additionally, the findings from other studies report that BWEF tend toencounter unique challenges along the tenure track [3], and have high extended family responsibility[1].

Focusing on elementary school students is critical for broadening participation inengineering, as many children form lasting beliefs about their STEM identities and STEM self-efficacy in elementary school. While there has been a recent surge in efforts to integrateengineering in curriculum in traditional school settings, out-of-school settings continue to playan important role in promoting equity in pre-college engineering experiences. Out-of-schoolsettings in particular can be ideal for providing children with culturally-relevant engineeringexperiences

learning is widely accepted as an integral part of engineeringeducation, as these experiences have been shown to improve students’ vocational self-conceptand work self-efficacy, as well as provide higher starting salaries post-graduation [10-11]. In thecontext of this study, enrolment in the program may signal students’ intent to be part of theengineering profession, or at least to obtain some professional experience in the field of theirdegree. However, given that the students are in their first year, we assume that they remain at anearly stage of professional socialization. Therefore, their expectations for the profession and theirown career trajectories may reflect their implicit assumptions about engineering and serve as abaseline for future

Furthermore, our observations also highlighted the challenge that highschool STEM teachers’ face in integrating nanotechnology into their classroom. While each of theclassroom lessons that we observed included a nano-component, the teacher’s primary focuscorresponded with something students were expected to know per state mandates and with respectto state tests. More time spent on nanotechnology, especially a full nano-lab would, we think,detract from what the teachers were expected to cover.Third, we did not find any changes in students’ STEM self-efficacy as measured by the S-STEMconstructs

This paper highlights qualitative and quantitative findings from the past decade.Introduction and
