Through factor analyses, Cnaan and Goldberg-Glen found that most motivesgrouped to one factor, suggesting a unidimensional scale. (Cnaan & Goldberg-Glen 1991). However, the unidimensional scale was soon challenged by multifactor models. Clary andSnyder found that different volunteers have different motivations for volunteering, and that onevolunteer can have several motivations (Clary & Snyder 1999: 157). They developed theVolunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) to identify the extent to which 6 sources of motivation,known as “functions” (Values, Understanding, Career, Social, Enhancement, and Protective),have the greatest influence

Professor Stevens began his professional career as a mathematics teacher. For the past two decades, he has studied STEM learning both in and out of school. His research seeks to understand how and when learning environments are productive for people and to translate those findings into practical use in the design and resdesign of learning environments. In recent years and in collaboration with colleagues at Northwestern, he created FUSE Studios to reimagine STEAM education around the values of innova- tion, making, and collaboration (https://www.fusestudio.net/).
