The Effects of Mindset and Inclusivity on Longitudinal Trajectories of Math Motivation in Informal STEM Youth Programs
Sun, April 14, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 109BAbstract
This study examined trajectories of expectancy beliefs (EXP), interest (INT), and utility values (UTI) in math and analyzed the effects of growth (GM) and fixed mindset (FM), and inclusivity (INC) on these changes. Participants included 249 adolescents (Mage T1 = 15.21, SD =1.59) recruited from informal STEM programs in the US and the UK. Linear latent growth modeling and longitudinal measurement invariance with MLR were used for data analysis. Results showed that EXP, INT, and UTI in math significantly declined over three years. INC had a significant positive effect on the initial levels of UTI. FM and GM influenced the rate of change in UTI in different directions. Girls reported lower starting points in EXP than boys.
