Chapter Highlights
- This chapter looks meta-analytically at education research published between 2014-2019. It includes 39 studies to determine the impact that various student factors (e.g., race, gender, participation in an intervention) have on an individual’s self-efficacy toward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and to explore the relationship between self-efficacy and interest in STEM careers.
- Despite prior research that indicates race, gender, and participation in a STEM intervention influences students’ self-efficacy toward STEM, the results from this meta-analysis indicate that race, gender, and participation in a STEM intervention did not have a statistically significant effect on individual STEM related self-efficacy.
- The results from this meta-analysis are consistent with previous research that shows a positive relationship between self-efficacy toward STEM and choosing a future STEM career.
