motivation and goal orientations (Multon et al., 1991; Usher et al.,2019; Zimmerman, 2000). Within the realm of STEM, if a student believes they can succeed intheir STEM classes, this refers to their sense of STEM self-efficacy. STEM self-efficacy hasbeen identified as a contributor of reluctance to pursue a STEM educational path or career(Borgen & Betz, 2008; van Aalderen-Smeets, van der Molen, Xenidou, 2018). According toBandura (1997), a strong sense of self-efficacy can enhance accomplishments and personal well-being in a multitude of different ways. This premise aligns with the research as self-efficacy hasemerged as an important predictor of academic outcomes such as motivation, major satisfaction,and goal orientations (Chen &

Unfortunately, an unintended consequence can be the formation of cliques, orsmaller communities within the already small community.The environment of certain LLCs also encourages other types of non-peer interaction.
