Zhimeng Jiang; Bing Wei; Sitong Chen; Lihua Tan – Science & Education, 2024
A major concern in science education is how to help students form science identity to increase their aspiration for STEM careers. Given the key role of experiences in individual's science identity formation, STEM experiences related to project-based learning (PBL) have received increasing attention in recent years. The purpose of this study was to…

Heiss, Raffael; Schmuck, Desirée; Matthes, Jörg; Eicher, Carolin – SAGE Open, 2021
Citizen science research has been rapidly expanding in the past years and has become a popular approach in youth education. We investigated key drivers of youth participation in a citizen social science school project and the effects of participation on scientific and topic-related (i.e., political) interest and efficacy. Findings suggest that…

Levy, Brett L. M. – Theory and Research in Social Education, 2011
One of the strongest predictors of political participation is political efficacy, the belief that individuals' action can influence governmental processes. Prior research indicates that political efficacy is higher for individuals who have had opportunities to discuss public issues (e.g., Hahn, 1999; Morrell, 2005) and participate in small-scale…

Lawanto, Oenardi; Santoso, Harry B.; Liu, Yang – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
In this study, the relationship between students' interest in engineering design activities and their expectancy for success in grades 9-12 was evaluated. The theoretical frameworks developed by Eccles and colleagues (i.e., expectancy value) and Butler and Cartier (i.e., what the students bring to contexts under a self-regulated learning…
