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

Student Motivation and Resistance in Active Learning Classrooms
TL;DR: This paper explored the AL paradox by describing a study that employed a novel active learning approach aligned with reform documents and a consensus definition of active learning in order to uncover sources of motivation from and resistance to AL.
"Interest" and the Domains of Interest in the Curricula of Ceit Departments
Abstract: Ilgi, bireylerin ogrenme ve ogrenmeye iliskin egilimlerini anlama ve yonlendirmede buyuk oneme sahip bir motivasyon turu olarak gorulmektedir. Bu bakimdan ilginin nasil olustugu, bireylerin ogrenmeleri ve ilgileri arasindaki iliskiyi etkileyen degiskenlerin neler oldugu dikkate deger bir arastirma alani olarak karsimiza cikmaktadir. Bu calismada ilgi kavrami ve ilginin ne sekilde olustugu, gelistigi ve bu gelisime etki eden faktorlerin neler oldugu alanyazin taramasindan elde edilen bilgiler isiginda ayrintili olarak incelenmistir. Ayrica calismada ulke genelinde lisans duzeyinde orgun egitim vermekte olan 43 Bilgisayar ve Ogretim Teknolojileri Egitimi bolumunun ogretim programi incelenmis ve ogrencilere ne tur ilgi alanlarinin sunuldugu ortaya cikarilmaya calisilmistir. Calismada tespit edilen ilgi alanlari ve bu ilgi alanlarinin gelistirilmesine iliskin ogrencilere sunulan olanaklar tartisilmis, ogrencilerin gelecekte is firsatlari da goz onunde bulunularak lisans egitimleri suresince belli alanlara iliskin ilgillerinin gelistirilmesi surecinde yapilmasi gerekenler tartisilmistir.

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.
