Predictors and outcomes of situational interest during a science learning task (2013, background): “An existing individual interest seems to make it easier for the student to establish and maintain a meaningful connection to a learning task in a related subject (Renninger et al. 2002).”
The effects of parental involvement on students’ academic self‐efficacy, engagement and intrinsic motivation (2010, background): “Studies have indicated that intrinsic motivation has positive associations with children’s achievement (Renninger, Ewan, & Lasher, 2002), persistence and effort (Renninger et al., 2002), self-efficacy (Hannover, 1998) and achievement motivation (Deci, 1992; Schiefele, 2001).”
The Four-Phase Model of Interest Development (2006, background): “Some students may require the verbal scaffolding of teachers or support from the way in which a task is organized, such as using their well-developed individual interests as the topics of word problems or texts (Renninger et al., 2002).”
“Pyramiding: Efficient search for rare subjects” (2009, background): “interest (e.g. Lavin 1965; Renninger, Ewen and Lasher 2002; Krapp 2002; Hidi and Renninger”
Motivation and learning in an online, unmoderated, mathematics workshop for teachers (2011, methodology): “Items requiring Likert ratings (e.g., ‘‘Compared to other activities in which you are involved [e.g., gardening, soccer, reading], how much would you say that you know about mathematics?’’) were drawn from those used in prior studies in which interest was assessed as a variable that can develop over”
Children's Motivation toward Science across Contexts, Manner of Interaction, and Topic. (2014, background): “Hidi and Renninger (2006); Germann (1988); Dawson and Bennett (1981); Dawson (2000); Renninger, Ewen, and Lasher (2002); Girod (2009) content to one's own life, question generation) Items were constructed to ask about children's fascination with science, whether they actively seek out information…”
Structural and Dynamic Aspects of Interest Development: Theoretical Considerations from an Ontogenetic Perspective. (2002, background): “On this level, one usually speaks of individual or personal interest (cf. Renninger, 1990, 1992; Renninger et al., 2002).”
