Student Engagement in STEM Education outline the metrics you would use to measure the success of your proposed intervention. Include the source of your metrics (should be from the evidence-based practice literature) and the hypothesized outcomes you anticipate from the intervention. Include risks and both potential positive and negative outcomes.
Cite any sources in APA format.
Proposed Intervention for Improving Student Engagement in STEM Education
I. Metrics for Measuring Success:
*A. Student Attendance:
- Source: Existing school records and attendance tracking systems.
- Hypothesized Outcome: Increase in regular attendance rates by at least 10% over the intervention period, indicating improved student engagement.
*B. Pre- and Post-Intervention Surveys:
- Source: Adapted from the Student Engagement Instrument (SEI) (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, & Paris, 2004).
- Hypothesized Outcome: A significant increase in …………………. and emotional engagement (e.g., interest, enjoyment) post-intervention.
*C. Academic Performance Metrics:
- Source: School grading system and standardized test scores.
- Hypothesized Outcome: Improvement in grades and standardized test scores in STEM-related subjects, demonstrating a positive impact on academic achievement.
*D. Teacher Observations:
- Source: Structured classroom observations using an …………………. for Engagement (COPE) (Furlong et al., 2014).
- Hypothesized Outcome: An increase in observed ………………………………. during STEM lessons.
*E. Retention and Dropout Rates:
- Source: School administration records.
- Hypothesized Outcome: Reduction in dropout …………………..in the STEM program, indicating improved commitment and engagement.
II. Potential Positive Outcomes:
- Improved student attendance and punctuality.
- Increased student participation and interaction during STEM lessons.
- Enhanced academic performance in STEM subjects.
- Higher levels of ………………..t in STEM-related activities.
- Reduced dropout rates, indicating greater commitment to STEM education.
III. Potential Negative Outcomes:
- Resource Limitations: Allocation of resources for the intervention may strain the school’s budget, potentially impacting other programs.
- Resistance or Disengagement: Some students may not respond positively to the intervention, and t………………..
- Unintended Consequences: Changes in student dynamics or…………………….. to unforeseen challenges.
IV. Risks and Considerations:
- Ethical considerations: Ensuring the intervention is inclusive and does not disadvantage any group of students.
- Parental involvement: Engaging parents in the………………………… a supportive home environment.
- Continuous evaluation and adaptation: Regularly reviewing the…………………and making adjustments based on feedback and results. Student Engagement in STEM Education
