Swarat, Su; Ortony, Andrew; Revelle, William – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
A genuine interest in science is an important part of scientific literacy, and thus a critical goal for science education. Recent studies, however, have found that school science has not been effective in meeting this goal, an important reason for which is the lack of knowledge about what makes science interesting (or not) to the students. Using…
