We know a lot about STEM attrition, but tons of students change career plans WITHIN STEM. Who are these students and what motivates their career plan changes?
I'm happy to share a new publication at Journal of Educational Psychology, which examines this topic. (1/5)

To solve this problem, there are things individual students need to do & there are things higher education & society need to do. The latter two need to decrease the pressures placed on students' time, increase the value & meaning of what they teach, & emphasize long-term learning not punishments.

Are you a teacher looking to motivate your students?
Students tend to be more motivated when they believe their teacher sees their potential—in other words, when they believe their teacher has a growth mindset about student ability.

This is an awesome group of scholars, and these events are how I meant a lot of amazing colleagues and mentors as a student! I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Next, we’ve got the Karabenick Conversations, a chance to grab coffee with some prolific motivation scholars. Have your questions answered, chat about your research, or just vibe with others who share your passion.
