75.050 - On Creating and Maintaining the Experience of Interest

Mon, April 20, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Sheraton, Floor: Second Level, Colorado

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The experience of interest while engaged is an essential part of maintaining engagement over time. This symposium addresses the roles of the student, the task, and the learning environment in creating and maintaining the student’s experience of interest. Although research has addressed broad categories of factors that increase the likelihood of interest (e.g. autonomous learning environments, novelty), it is an open question as to when, how, and for whom these factors are helpful. The symposium brings together researchers who are addressing these questions from different perspectives and using different types of data and levels of analysis. Implications for understanding interest experiences while learning and directions for future research will be discussed.
