Apr 6, 2018 · In the present study we adopt a multiple interest perspective to examine whether STEM-interested students pursue multiple interests when making educational choices. Four research questions are posed to gain more insight in the interest pursuance strategies of students.

The practices that participants learned in the museum program parallel those described in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) (National Research Council, 2012). Specifically, in alignment with NGSS, participants were afforded opportunities to develop their own original research questions, to collect specimens in a local natural environment...
Our results suggest that participation in authentic science research relevant to participants’ lives helps to augment interest development (Renninger & Hidi, 2016). In support of this idea, Renninger et al., (2019) identified “personal relevance” (p. 4) as a trigger for interest development in a recent study of an informal, out-of-school time biolo...
Through their participation in authentic science research, museum participants were afforded opportunities to develop their science identities. In accordance with Carlone and Johnson’s (2007) concept of identity development, museum participants operationalized their science identity in three ways: (1) by engaging in rigorous research (performance);...
We found multiple lines of evidence supporting our hypothesis that participation in an informal science research team contributes to interest development. First, our quantitative analyses indicated that participants entered the research team with a strong interest in research (baseline survey: mean = 3.64; SD = 0.49) and that their interest was sus...
We acknowledge that there are several limitations to our study. First, one limitation of this study is the possibility of self-selection bias as students typically enter the research team with an interest in and prior experience in scientific research. A second limitation is the problem of institutional selection bias as students are not selected r...
In support of our hypotheses, we found that authentic engagement in the research process helps youth become more confident in their abilities to work independently and/or to teach others the skills and practices of science and in turn, reinforces and possibly augments interest development. Moreover, our interview data suggest that engagement in aut...

Jun 30, 2016 · Four interest-enhancing interventions seem useful: attention-getting settings, contexts evoking prior individual interest, problem-based learning, and enhancing utility value. Promoting interest can contribute to a more engaged, motivated, learning experience for students.
