Situational interest: Its multifaceted structure in the secondary school mathematics classroom.
TLDR
In this paper, the tenability of a hypothetical construct of interest as it applies to the secondary mathematics classroom was proposed and empirically assessed, and the results indicate that it is useful to distinguish between personal and situational interest.Abstract:
The present study attempted to tackle a hurdle that continues to plague the research on interest: the lack of an adequate theoretical model. In particular, the tenability of a hypothetical construct of interest as it applies to the secondary mathematics classroom was proposed and empirically assessed. Building on previous theoretical work, the study used qualitative and quantitative methodologies to first develop a model and then assess its construct validity. The results indicate that it is useful to distinguish between personal and situational interest. Furthermore, the results indicate that the structure of situational interest is multifaceted, clarifying 5 subfacets of situational interest in the high school mathematics classroomread more

Multiple Solutions, The Experience of Competence, and Interest
TL;DR: The authors investigated how students' learning is affected when they construct multiple solutions while solving real-world problems by applying multiple mathematical procedures, and found that constructing multiple solutions has a positive influence on students' experience of competence but no effect on their interest in mathematics.
Affective factors associated with computational estimation of seventh graders
Burçak Boz Yaman,Safure Bulut +1 more
TL;DR: This study examined affective factors associated with the seventh grade students' computational estimation ability via two interview sessions and found that students' confidence in ability to do mathematics, perceptions of mathematics, confidence in able to do the estimation, perception of estimation and tolerance for error were identified.
Leveraging Emotional Engagement Techniques and Adult Learning Principles to Transform Safety Training
TL;DR: Bhandari et al. as mentioned in this paper found that the integral negative affective arousal increased perception of risk and promoted risk-averse decision-making in a construction safety training context.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models
TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

Significance tests and goodness of fit in the analysis of covariance structures
TL;DR: In this article, a general null model based on modified independence among variables is proposed to provide an additional reference point for the statistical and scientific evaluation of covariance structure models, and the importance of supplementing statistical evaluation with incremental fit indices associated with the comparison of hierarchical models.

How We Think
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of critical thinking and the vital role education should play in the development of the critical thinking skills of children has been highlighted, and an appreciation of this correlation and a recognition of its value in educational practice can promote individual happiness and reduce social waste.
