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

The Four-Phase Model of Interest Development.
Suzanne Hidi,K. Ann Renninger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a 4-phase model of interest development, which describes four phases in the development and deepening of learner interest: triggered situational interest, maintained interest, emerging (less developed) individual interest, and well-developed individual interest.

Motivating the Academically Unmotivated: A Critical Issue for the 21st Century:
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the polarization of individual interest, extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and performance and mastery goals must be reconsidered, and they urge educators and researchers to recognize the potential additional benefits of externally triggered situational interest, intrinsic motivation and performance goals.

Interest, Learning, and the Psychological Processes That Mediate Their Relationship.
TL;DR: The authors investigated how individual and situational interest factors contribute to topic interest and text learning and found that topic interest was related to affective response, affect to persistence, and persistence to learning.

Student engagement in high school classrooms from the perspective of flow theory.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptualization of student engagement based on the culmination of concentration, interest, and enjoyment (i.e., flow), and investigate how adolescents spent their time in high school and the conditions under which they reported being engaged.
