motivation and goal orientations (Multon et al., 1991; Usher et al.,2019; Zimmerman, 2000). Within the realm of STEM, if a student believes they can succeed intheir STEM classes, this refers to their sense of STEM self-efficacy. STEM self-efficacy hasbeen identified as a contributor of reluctance to pursue a STEM educational path or career(Borgen & Betz, 2008; van Aalderen-Smeets, van der Molen, Xenidou, 2018). According toBandura (1997), a strong sense of self-efficacy can enhance accomplishments and personal well-being in a multitude of different ways. This premise aligns with the research as self-efficacy hasemerged as an important predictor of academic outcomes such as motivation, major satisfaction,and goal orientations (Chen &

Briefly,this perspective argues that identities are situated in social and cultural worlds that are populatedby social types that members of those worlds recognize as meaningful, i.e., their actions and theiruse of cultural artifacts such as words, images or texts [8].
