Liou, Pey-Yan; Lin, Yao-Mei; Huang, Ssu-Ching; Chen, Sufen – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated gender disparities in students' science motivational beliefs, conceptualized as self-concept and intrinsic value, from Grades 4 to 8 in 22 countries. The gender-specific relation between science motivational beliefs and achievement was also scrutinized. Data from the 2011 and 2015 national cohorts of the Trends in…

Liou, Pey-Yan; Wang, Cheng-Lung; Lin, John J. H.; Areepattamannil, Shaljan – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
This study investigated whether students' motivational beliefs about learning science (i.e., self-concept in science and intrinsic value of science) varied significantly across grade levels and genders. The study also examined the relations between students' motivational beliefs about learning science and their science achievement by grade level…
