Connecting students to nature – how intensity of nature experience and student age influence the success of outdoor education programs (2017, background): “From a neuroscientific point of view positive emotional excitation can cause a more intense cognitive elaboration of contents (Hidi 2006; Spitzer 2007).”
Revisiting the Role of Rewards in Motivation and Learning: Implications of Neuroscientific Research (2016, background): “underestimated in social, educational, and psychological literature, particularly in the area of motivational research (Hidi 2006; Panksepp 1998, 2003; Schunk 2008).”
Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, unknown): “Thus, we focus primarily on research that explains educational choices, preferences, and interests, all of which are strong predictors of academic participation in the U.S. (Hidi, 2006; Hidi & Harackiewicz, 2000; C. L. Morgan, Isaac, & Sansone, 2001).”
Upper Secondary Students’ Situational Interest: A case study of the role of a zoo visit in a biology class (2013, background): “Hidi (2006) suggest that if we only consider the moment in which the psychological state of interest is triggered, interest may be appropriately considered as an emotion.”
Interest Development and Its Relation to Curiosity: Needed Neuroscientific Research (2019, background): “As Hidi (2006), and subsequently Reeve and Lee (2016) noted, there are specific ways in which neuroscientific data could enhance understanding of motivational phenomena.”
Situational interest, computer self-efficacy and self-regulation: Their impact on student engagement in distance education (2012, background): “Situational interest refers to the interest activated by the immediate environment (Hidi, 2006; Schraw & Lehman, 2001).”
Dimensions of teacher interest and their relations to occupational well-being and instructional practices (2013, background): “Prior research has demonstrated, for example, that interest fosters students’ attention, quality of learning, course grades, and future course enrollment (Ainley, Hidi, & Berndorff , 2002; Hidi, 2006; Schiefele, 2009).”
Predictors and outcomes of situational interest during a science learning task (2013, methodology): “The concept of situational interest has been used to describe a situation-specific and evolving motivational state that arises from the interaction between person and task characteristics (Hidi 2006; Krapp 2007).”
What makes lessons interesting?: The role of situational and individual factors in three school subjects (2008, background): “1 Ainley, Hidi, and Berndorff (2002) labeled this kind of interest that is elicited by a word or paragraph topic interest.”
Homo Curious: Curious or Interested? (2019, background): “In contrast, advanced content knowledge and high value are core components that characterize individual interest (Hidi 2006; Renninger et al. 2002).”
Disentangling Curiosity: Dimensionality, Definitions, and Distinctions from Interest in Educational Contexts (2014, background): “However, the possibility for negative emotions is evident for both interest (Hidi 2006) and curiosity (Bowler 2010; Levitt et al. 2009; Litman and Jimerson 2004).”
Interest Matters: The Importance of Promoting Interest in Education (2016, background): “Thus, being in a state of interest means that affective reactions, perceived value, and cognitive functioning intertwine, and that attention and learning feel effortless (Ainley, 2006; Dewey, 1913; Hidi, 2006).”
