A strong, positive science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) identity is a predictor of future career choice in a STEM field. In this commentary, major concepts are explored within and among four different research studies with implications regarding STEM or science identity. This commentary describes ways in which one can view STEM identity as its own construct-and how different experiences affect positive or negative influences upon the formation and continuation of STEM identity. A summary of external and internal factors is included with discussion of the pertinent points regarding facilitation and development of STEM identity within educational settings.
强烈、积极的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)身份认同是未来选择STEM领域职业的一个预测指标。在这篇评论中,我们在四项不同的研究中探讨了与STEM或科学身份认同相关的主要概念。这篇评论描述了将STEM身份认同视为一种独特结构的方式,以及不同经历如何对STEM身份认同的形成和持续产生积极或消极影响。文中包含了外部和内部因素的总结,并讨论了在教育环境中促进和发展STEM身份认同的相关要点。
