Description
This thesis investigated the professional identity development of university student ambassadors in an extra-curricular STEM outreach program. It further explored learning outcomes in the form of graduate attributes enhanced through the program. In addition to knowledge and skill development, the program facilitated student professional identity formation through building of self-image and confidence in capabilities, and affirmation and reevaluation of career pathways. This research provides new perspectives on enablers for learning and professional identity development that resulted from the on-the-job training and feedback from peers that occurred in the supportive ‘safe space’ of the outreach program.
Impact and interest:
