What people are saying
Discussions highlight the significance of role models' features—such as perceived competence and similarity—as central to motivating students, utilizing positive language like 'key for students’ self-efficacy' and 'recommendations.' The tone is generally informative and encouraging, emphasizing the potential for tailored interventions to foster diversity in STEM, demonstrating a balanced interest and recognition of impact.
Most discussions acknowledge the importance of understanding how role models influence STEM motivation and affirm the article's focus on tailoring role model exposure.
Participants show moderate interest, with some referencing the systematic review and the general topic of diversity in STEM, but few delve deeply into specific findings.
Posts vary from simply sharing the article to mentioning related concepts like motivation theory and diversity, indicating some degree of thoughtful engagement.
The collective tone suggests a recognition of the article's relevance to ongoing efforts in STEM education reform, though without intense advocacy or critique.
Abstract in brief
- The effectiveness of role models in motivating students in STEM varies depending on factors like the role model’s perceived competence, similarity to students, and the perceived attainability of their success, as well as student characteristics such as gender, race/ethnicity, age, and STEM identification.
- The systematic review of 55 articles highlights that understanding these variables can help identify which role models work best for different groups of students, aiming to improve STEM motivation and diversification efforts.
- The authors propose four recommendations to maximize the impact of STEM role models across diverse student backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of tailoring role model exposure to enhance motivation for all students.]

So part of my #sabbatical was to do a literature review on the use of #RoleModels in #STEM. However, it looks like it's already been done (at least up to 2019)! Really interesting paper, and well worth a read.https://t.co/Otr2CrAxpp https://t.co/BYn6KOKwbi
10/ The diversificiation/decolonisation of disciplines forms part of this agenda. It is sometimes justified by the motivational theory of role models. A meta-analysis found that enthusiasm for this theory "continues to run ahead of the research." https://t.co/1rZJotzD56
