2023 Poster - Moment-to-moment associations between parental autonomy support and children's STEM engagement during tinkering

March 25, 2023 | Exhibitions, Public Programs

Given the important role of autonomy support in children’s motivation and learning, this study asked whether parents’ use of autonomy supportive language (vs. controlling language) was associated with children’s engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a bi-directional manner during an at-home tinkering activity.
