Abstract
Programs aimed at increasing the attractiveness of STEM professions should encompass women as well as men. Based on that premise our study focuses on the research question: How can high school students ' motivation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry classes be increased and what impact does students ' high motivation in math and science have on a career choice in STEM? The study is embedded in the Eccles ' expectancy-value model. Applying structural equation modeling, it provides evidence that fostering students ' motivation has a positive impact on their willingness to choose a STEM study fi eld. Moreover, the results show that classes supporting students ' motivation increase the intrinsic value of math and science among students and the probability of a STEM career choice.
