Abstract

As part of an efficacy study of elementary school engineering curricula, we are recording all engineering lessons in 24 classrooms. Data collection is split between the treatment and comparison curriculum, and will continue through June 2014. Our observation notes and preliminary video analysis suggest that some students self-identify as engineers, while others do not. Our poster will present an analysis of the contexts and contributing factors leading to students' adoption of self-concepts in engineering.
