Motivation Interventions in Education (2016, background): “For example, Hoyert and O’Dell (2006) conducted two intervention studies aimed at altering achievement goal orientations among struggling college students.”
Understanding and Engagement in Places of Science Experience: Science Museums, Science Centers, Zoos, and Aquariums (2014, background): “Similarly, background information about scientist’s struggles or portraying scientists as hardworking individuals increased students’ interest in science and their delayed recall of science concepts (Hong & Lin-Siegler, 2011).”
STEM Motivation Interventions for Adolescents: A Promising Start, but Further to Go (2016, background): “Hong and Lin-Siegler (2012) found similar effects on interest for individuals who started their intervention with low versus high individual interest.”
Effects of role model exposure on STEM and non-STEM student engagement (2016, background): “…at increasing STEM interest of non-STEM students, and thereby addressing the recruitment issue has focused primarily on school-aged children (e.g., Hong & Lin-Siegler, 2012; Robinson & Kenny, 2003; Roth et al., 2009; Wyss, Heulskamp, & Siebert, 2012), while research aimed at sustaining STEM…”
Instructional interventions that motivate classroom learning. (2016, background): “For example, many students attribute failure to insufficient intelligence rather than to their effort or the learning strategies they are using, particularly when learning challenging subjects or facing difficult school transitions (Hong & Lin-Siegler, 2012).”
Even Einstein Struggled: Effects of Learning About Great Scientists’ Struggles on High School Students’ Motivation to Learn Science (2016, methodology): “For example, previous research has identified the effectiveness of struggle stories versus achievement stories (H. Hong & Lin-Siegler, 2012).”
