From thesedefinitions, we move onto the second stage, where we use those definitions to generate draftitems to be used in the survey instrument. Those draft items then go through a review processwith experts in both makerspaces and instrument design. Additionally, we recruit students in ourtarget population to participate in think-aloud interviews: interviews where the students readthrough the instrument and talk out loud about their interpretation and thought process whenanswering the questions.

study draws from Goal-Congruity Theory, which states people are more likely to pursue a career that affords the valuesthey endorse (Diekman, et al., 2010). From the perspective of a student, there are two questionsregarding value that are important. First, what values does the student personally hold dear?Second, what value does the student believe a specific career provides? When these two types ofvalues are congruent, motivation improves. Goal congruity research has further found that thereare generally two categories of values: agency (self-oriented, wealth, prestige) and prosocial(other-oriented, working with and helping others, benefitting society) (Thoman, et al. 2015;Diekman, et al., 2017).
