Situational Interest: Its Multifaceted Structure in the Secondary School Mathematics Classroom.
Mitchell, Mathew
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n3 p424-36 Sep 1993
A hypothetical construct of interest is proposed and tested in the mathematics classroom with 350 high school students. Results indicate that it is useful to distinguish between personal and situational interest. In addition, the structure of situational interest appears multifaceted, with five subfacets found in the high school mathematics classroom. (SLD)
