The ALIGN Scale is a research-based measurement tool designed to capture the motivations, goals, and decision-making processes of prospective STEM microcredential learners. By generating new insights into how learners approach these pathways, the Scale will help lay the foundation for future research on the efficacy of STEM microcredentials.<\/p>\n
