Much of the research associated with this funding has focused on K-12education and more specifically with increasing student achievement in STEM areas beginningin Kindergarten. This growing concern to increase student achievement has resulted in a pushfor practitioners to utilize what has been termed, inquiry instruction, in the classroom. The term inquiry has been used in numerous journal articles, textbooks, pre-serviceeducation courses, and professional development workshops. The National Research Councilidentified the use of inquiry as an integral part of

of excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) requiresstudents’ sustained enthusiasm and commitment. However, the high rate of dropouts andtransitions to other majors implies that students struggle with maintaining motivation in STEMdisciplines. Indeed, longitudinal research suggests that motivation tends to decline over time inSTEM fields, particularly in introductory courses that serve as gateways to graduation. Thisdecline in motivation can, in turn, result in decreased academic performance and hinderedprogress toward degree attainment [1]-[2]. This motivation loss may be even more substantial forBlack, Latine, Native American, and first-generation students (i.e., marginalized students).Despite starting STEM
