AB  - Introduction/Significance: This work-in-progress (WIP) paper highlights the findings from a systematized literature review on the use of achievement goal theory in understanding undergraduate STEM student motivations. Motivation is a fundamental concept for understanding students and aiding them in navigating the challenges of academic study. For this paper, we focus on one theme uncovered during the literature review: differences observed based on biological sex.

Methods: To gain a better understanding of how AGT is used within STEM, we have started the process of a systematized literature review. The literature review was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. Briefly, we used Education Resource, ERIC, Education Full-Text, and APA PsychArticles databases to gather relevant publications in education and psychology journals. To focus on engineering education publications, we specifically searched for articles published in The Journal of Engineering Education, The European Journal of Engineering Education, and The International Journal of Engineering Education, as well as the ASEE PEER database. Papers and abstracts that were published after 1996 and used AGT to categorize STEM students into motivational orientations were included, as well as articles or proceedings that were conducted in STEM-based classes such as algebra or statistics. The initial search returned a total of 239 journal articles and 391 conference proceedings. After an appraisal process that tested the publications against our inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of fifty studies (forty-three journal articles and seven conference proceedings) were selected for the final review. The final review process included two reviewers conducting a full-text analysis of the documents and meeting regularly to determine emergent themes.

Results: Sixteen studies among all reviewed work included research that investigated possible difference in students’ achievement goal orientations based on biological sex. Studies fell into one of three categories: (1) investigation of statistical differences between female and male students’ motivational orientations and its association with certain outcome variables, (2) analysis of the statistical differences but failed to report any findings due to non-significant results, and (3) investigation of female students’ motivational profiles in STEM fields.

Purpose: As a WIP paper, we wish to present the preliminary findings and to elicit feedback from the community to ensure that we are accurately and responsibly presenting them.
