In a rapidly evolving world, grit and creativity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are crucial attributes for the future development of adolescent students. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship remains unclear. This study presents a new theoretical framework that explores how STEM-specific…

Video-enhanced activity schedule (VidAS) embeds a video model within a visual schedule, then links the images in the visual schedule to a video model clip, completing the step represented in each image.
