尽管经过数十年的干预，女性学生和特定种族/族裔群体的代表性仍然不足。有证据表明，有必要在中学阶段鼓励学生对STEM领域的兴趣。青少年的职业抱负受到榜样和心态的影响，例如对个人能力的感知。本研究的目的是衡量接触角色榜样和基于工作的微徽章如何影响学生追求STEM职业的心态。在courage应用程序中，中学生在完成一系列以榜样为主角的任务挑战配对（包括生物医学工程师）之前和之后，对他们追求STEM职业的意图进行了评分，并通过应用程序内调查评估了他们的信心、动力和乐趣。来自代表性和代表性不足的STEM人口统计学学生的数据进行了比较。在“勇气”应用程序干预后，追求STEM职业的意愿有所增加。从人口统计学的角度来看，来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体和女学生的人数有所增加。学生们报告说，在与应用程序互动后，他们的信心、动力和乐趣都有所增加。此外，学生们报告说，他们对STEM事业的成功充满信心，并有动力在学业上投入精力。这项研究表明，中学生对STEM职业的兴趣、信心、动机和享受都有所增加。courage应用程序的干预有效地改善了为学生未来的学术和职业决策提供信息的指标。在中学期间广泛实施这种干预有助于缩小STEM领域的代表性差距。
Underrepresentation of female students and specific racial/ethnic groups persists in STEM despite decades of intervention. Evidence suggests a need to encourage interest in STEM fields at the middle-school level. Adolescent career aspirations are influenced by exposure to role models and mindsets, such as a sense of perceived personal capacity. The purpose of this study was to measure how exposure to role models and work-based microbadging affects students' mindsets related to pursuit of STEM careers. Middle school students rated their intent to pursue a STEM career before and after completing a series of Quest-Challenge pairs featuring role models, including a biomedical engineer, in the Couragion application, along with their confidence, motivation, and enjoyment through in-app surveys. Data from students in well-represented and underrepresented STEM demographics were compared. Intent to pursue a STEM career increased after Couragion app intervention. Divided into demographic groups, increases were observed in students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and female students. Students reported increased confidence, motivation, and enjoyment after interacting with the app. Additionally, students reported confidence in STEM career success and motivation to apply themselves academically. This study showed increased intent, confidence, motivation, and enjoyment in middle school students related to STEM careers. The Couragion app intervention effectively improved metrics that inform students’ future academic and professional decisions. Widely implementing this type of intervention during middle school could help narrow the representation gap in STEM fields.
