Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Individual interest in the subject showed small positive correlations with both catch and hold situational interest, justifying its use as covariate. → Valentina Nachtigall 2021

q3 · i2 · associational · r1

Secondary correlational analysis in the MANCOVA section of the quasi-experimental OSL study. Individual interest (adapted Sparfeldt et al. 2004 scale, α = .87) correlated with situational interest catch (r = .27, p = .001) and hold (r = .26, p = .002), small effects.

"We included students' interest in the social sciences as a covariate due to correlations with situational interest (catch: r = .27, p = .001; hold: r = .26, p = .002)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Prior OSL research shows highly inconsistent cognitive and motivational effects of authentic setting features, and few studies measured perceived authenticity — related
• In an out-of-school lab for social sciences, the authenticity level of the learning activity (Productive Failure vs. Direct Instruction) did not affect students' perceived authenticity or situational interest — related
• Students' perceived authenticity of the learning activity correlated with their situational interest but not with their knowledge acquisition — related
