The predefined codes obtained from theliterature review (i.e., a priori codes) served as the basis for data analysis and the development ofnew codes. For example, some of the a priori codes included “bilingualism” and “sobrevivencia(survivalist) knowing” from the work of Kasun,7 which later was combined with other codes tocreate “transnationalism” and “Nepantlera and Nepantlero knowing” themes.

With the increased focus on apprenticeships in the U.S.,other apprenticeship occupations have emerged, such as those in transportation, nursing aids,childcare, auto and diesel mechanics, and technicians for manufacturing. It is noteworthy thatwithin the last several years apprenticeship programs in Information Technology (IT) andcybersecurity have exploded on the scene.

set of findings emerging frommotivation research that sought to better understand K-12 students’ choice and pursuit of STEMcareers [7], [8]. This body of work has indicated consistently that underrepresented children andyouth are less likely to develop STEM identities or pursue career pathways than non-minoritystudents, especially in the field of engineering [9], and the choices made by children, especiallyunderrepresented children, to pursue various STEM disciplines are strongly associated with theirperceptions of self-efficacy, competence, interest, social support, and the discipline’s costs andbenefits [10], [11], [12]. Yet, despite the recognition of this issue, limited research has beenconducted on young children’s motivation in
