knowledge in the STEMdomain. Story-driven learning, by contrast, involves students sharing personal, potentiallyvulnerable, stories to improve their identity formation and entrepreneurial mindset, necessitatingthe identification of potentially unique pedagogical practices distinct from those used intraditional STEM settings. We started with a deductive (or top-down) approach, drawing on existing theories andresearch to anticipate specific pedagogical practices expected in these classrooms (e.g., Ellis etal., 2019; Herbel-Eisenmann et al., 2013; Smith et al., 2013). This helped us hypothesize whichpedagogical practices might emerge in story-driven learning classrooms, such as instructorslinking past and current topics (Kranzfelder et al
