EQulP Rubric for Science - NGSS (Outcome Expectation)

Outcome expectations are defined as a person’s judgements about the likely consequences of a given task, positive outcome expectations serve as incentives that promote future behavior (Bandura, 2001). They guide behavioral choices as people adopt courses of action that are likely to result in positive outcomes. A scientist’s outcome expectations related to outreach would be expected to inform the extent to which they continue to engage with the public. This scale was developed to measure scientists' outcome expectations for their public engagement work.
