Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
Students' interest in mathematics is important for their learning of mathematics, and the ability to accurately judge students' motivational orientation is important for mathematics teachers. The aim of this study was to answer the following research questions: (1) Is there a difference in students' interest in solving problems with and without a…

Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Krug, André; Rakoczy, Katrin – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2015
Prompting students to construct multiple solutions for modelling problems with vague conditions has been found to be an effective way to improve students' performance on interest-oriented measures. In the current study, we investigated the influence of this teaching element on students' performance. To assess the impact of prompting multiple…

Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Krug, André – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2014
Encouraging students to develop multiple solutions for given problems is an important way to improve mathematical knowledge. However, the influence of this teaching element on students' interest-related motivational orientations is an open question. In this article, we report the results of an experimental study (N = 145) that was carried out to…
