Funded Activity Summary

Boosting high school students’ interest and course taking in STEM fields. This education psychology research aims to develop and test an online motivation intervention promoting high school students' interest and course-taking in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The project expects to generate new knowledge of psychological and sociocultural factors (including gender) which affect STEM interest and subject choices, and which influence the effectiveness of a motivation intervention for high school students. Expected outcomes include a scalable intervention that will be effective in replenishing the STEM skills pipeline. Benefits include better information for teachers and policy makers seeking to promote and sustain students' STEM interest, thus motivating them towards STEM pathways.
