Study on the Impact of Professional Identity of Guilin University Students majoring in Science, Engineering and Aerospace on the Effectiveness of Science Popularization

Mediated by self-efficacy

Abstract

This paper firstly analyses the role and value of popularization of science, and then takes undergraduates of Guilin Polytechnic College of Aeronautics and Astronautics as the research object, and uses the SPSS20 software tool to gain an in-depth understanding and explore the influence of aerospace undergraduates of Polytechnic College of Aeronautics and Astronautics on the effect of aerospace popularisation of science and the media effect of self-efficacy from the three dimensions of professional emotions, professional attitudes, and professional cognition under the sense of professional identity.To this end, a research model was constructed to validate the variables by setting the structural relationship between the variables and the media effect through a theoretical examination of the variables. the only aerospace university in Guilin City, Guangxi Province, was selected, and a 10-day questionnaire survey was conducted from 30 January to 8 February 2024 with 557 undergraduate students from the School of Aerospace and Astronautics in the first, second, third and fourth years as the research subjects. After analysing the data from the recovered questionnaires to determine the relationship between the variables, the following observations were made by verifying the mediated effects:First, professional identity has a significant effect on science effectiveness. Second, professional identity has a significant effect on self-efficacy. Third, self-efficacy has a significant effect on science popularisation effect. Fourth, professional identity had a significant effect on science popularisation effect through self-efficacy, and the mediating effect of self-efficacy was statistically significant.
