Hu, Xinyang; Jiang, Yanxia; Bi, Hualin – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: In many countries and regions, such as the United States, Europe and China, a trend has emerged in which students' enthusiasm for STEM is declining. This decline may be related to students' lack of science self-efficacy. An accurate examination of students' science self-efficacy can provide a research foundation for how to cultivate…

Liu, Yimeng; Wang, Jian – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The relationship between inquiry-based learning and science self-efficacy was analysed using data from 57 countries and economics participating in the 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This analysis generated a mediating--moderating model, which involved the mediating role of science interest and the moderating role of…

Huang, Wen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
Traditional science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is sometimes criticized for lacking approaches to present real-world practices and phenomena beyond naked eyes. Head-mounted display virtual reality (HMD VR) provides opportunities to solve this issue. However, little is known about the impact of this approach on…

Walag, Angelo Mark P.; Fajardo, Maria Teresa M.; Bacarrisas, Prosiebeth G.; Guimary, Faith M. – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
Science teacher's self-efficacy has been at the center of many investigations on students' achievement in science, teacher burnout, and teacher performance. While overly studied, this construct has not been examined with scientific literacy in depth. Thus, this study aims to identify the influence of science teacher's scientific literacy on their…

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…

Kinskey, Melanie; Callahan, Brendan E. – Research in Science Education, 2022
Two common reasons elementary preservice teachers have low self-efficacy with science teaching is their lack of content knowledge and past negative experiences with science teaching or learning. Holding low self-efficacy beliefs has negative impacts on both the method of science instruction and amount of science instruction delivered in the…

McBride, Eileen; Oswald, W. Wyatt; Beck, Lindsey A.; Vashlishan Murray, Amy – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Research in science education confirms the importance of self-efficacy in students' persistence and success in the sciences. The current study examined the role of science self-efficacy in nonspecialist, arts and communication-oriented students encountering science in a general education context. Participants (N = 275) completed a beginning- and…

Miles, Jeffrey A.; Naumann, Stefanie E. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Historically women have been underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Some scholars have suggested that science self-concept perceptions have contributed to this gender gap. We propose and empirically examine a model of the relationships between gender, sexual orientation, science self-efficacy,…

Jones, M. Gail; Lee, Tammy; Carrier, Sarah; Madden, Lauren; Cayton, Emily; Chesnutt, Katherine; Ennes, Megan; Huff, Pamela; Phillips, Lanette – Science Educator, 2021
Youth often fail to see themselves in the role of a scientist or engineer and they may lack the confidence to believe they can be successful in STEM courses and careers. This study investigated students wearing lab coats as one strategy to build science academic self-concept and self-efficacy in science. Teachers in four elementary schools had…
