This study investigated the mediating effect of maintained situational interest on the relationship between situational interest and individual interest among elementary school students during optical illusion classes. The subjects of this study were 67 fifth-grade students (27 boys and 40 girls) from an elementary school in a metropolitan city. Four optical illusion classes were conducted at four-day intervals. Immediately after each class, the students' triggered situational interest levels, maintained situational interest levels, and emerging individual interest levels were assessed and analyzed. The analysis indicated that all nine interest variables measured across three of the classes showed positive and significant correlations. In addition, at the same time point, triggered situational interest directly affected the development of maintained situational interest and emerging individual interest, or indirectly affected the development of emerging individual interest through maintained situational interest as a mediator. In particular, in every class, triggered and maintained situational interest influenced emerging individual interest. However, triggered situational interest exhibited a greater influence on the development of individual interest compared to maintained situational interest. Based on exploring the relationship between phases of interest development as a key factor in learning motivation, implications for science education were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to examine personal characteristics of two elementary students who developed individual interest in science. 201 students of two elementary schools in Seoul participated in questionnaire survey engaged in to investigate students' interest in science, engagements and preference in science-related-activities three times a year. This case study was conducted with seven students who showed typical types of interest in science. Students wrote a photo-journal for 12 weeks. They were interviewed every other week by a researcher. We analyzed two students who developed individual interest. It turns out that RF participated in doing experiments at home, and disassembling and assembling things. Participation of activities was a process of solving curiosity. When he was unable to solve problems, he searches the internet or books. Sometimes he would ask for help from his teacher. JW engaged in activities: drawing, doing experiments at home, and going to informal education center. She communicated with others by using online-offline media. Curious questions were solved by herself. The two students have a tendency to solve problems by themselves. Also, positive science-related activities were going on at home and in school. This study not only give insights and understanding of students who developed individual interest in science but also provide implication for educators to examine personal characteristics of students.

The purpose of this study is to theorize the conceptualizations of educational interest focused on mathematics learning and to investigate the directions of increasing students' interest in mathematics. This study reconsiders the interest theory of Dewey, classification of situational interest and individual interest, and the experimental research of mathematical interest. The conceptions of educational interest on mathematics learning are as follows. First, mathematical interest refers to the total experiences that an individual feels the need to engage in mathematical objects. Second, making a distinction between situational interest and individual interest is effective in suggesting educational interventions in order to improve students' learning interest. Third, interest is characterized by affect, cognition, and value. According to the conceptions of educational interest on mathematics learning, this study suggests that we should develop or construct good mathematics tasks to increase students' interest in mathematics. Good mathematics tasks consider both students' understanding and students' affection and provide activity's goals or values to be noticed by students.

The purpose of this study was to explore how primary school students develop their interest in science. A survey questionnaire was used to investigate students' interest, change of their interest, and engagement in science related activities three times a year. 201 students of two primary schools in Seoul Metropolitan City initially participated in this study. A follow-up case study was conducted with students who showed an increased interest in science. Finally, seven students were chosen in the case study. They were asked to keep a photo journal for 12 weeks, and were interviewed in every other week by one of the researchers. Among these seven participants, two (TK and QQ) were chosen for analyzing their data in this case study because they showed positive changes in developing science interest throughout the study. The results of two participants' survey, photo-journal and interview were analyzed qualitatively. First, TK, whose science interest developed from situational interest II to individual interest I, engaged in doing experiments at home, doing mathematics activities, raising pets or plants, observing phenomena, and visiting informal educational centers. He tended to participate in hands-on activities by himself in out-of-school settings. Second, QQ who developed from situational interest I to situational interest II, engaged in taking pictures as a representative activity at home and school. He tended to participate in activities with either his father or one of the researchers. Both students showed personal characteristics such as doing place-based activities, interaction with others and activity subjectivity. The goal of TK's interactions with others on the various places was to develop in cognitive domain. On the contrary, QQ's goal of interactions with others was to develop in emotional communication. This study reported the cases of characteristics of students who developed their interests in science including activities in- and out-of-school settings and their accompanying people.

다양한 학습 능력과 성격을 지닌 학생들은 대체로 프로그래밍에 많은 흥미와 관심을 보이고 있다. 이와 관련하여 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있지만, 본 연구에서는 본질적으로 프로그래밍이 학생들에게 왜 흥미를 유발하는지 프로그래밍 그 자체에 대한 논의가 필요하다고 생각한다. 즉 프로그래밍 교육이 학생들에게 주는 의미를 발달상의 심리적 요인과 철학적 배경을 중심으로 탐색하였다. 심리적 요인으로는 유아의 발달 과정에서 자기애 욕구를 프로그래밍을 통해 충족시킬 수 있다고 분석하였다. 또한 인간의 마음을 구성하고 만물의 근원인 이(理)와 기(氣)의 개념으로 프로그래밍 세계를 해석하였다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors of situational interest in math learning, and based on the results, to reveal the factors of situational interest included in teaching and learning methods, teaching and learning activities in mathematics class, and extracurricular activities outside of class. As a result of conducting a questionnaire to high school students, the factors of situational interest in learning mathematics were divided into 10 detail-domain(Enjoy, Curiosity, Competence / Real life, Other subjects, Career / Prior knowledge, Accumulation knowledge / Transformation, Analysis), 4 general-domain(Emotion, Attitude / Knowledge, Understanding), 2 higher-domain(Affective / Cognitive) were extracted. In addition, it was revealed that various factors of situational interest were included teaching and learning methods, teaching and learning activities and extracurricular activities. When examining the meaning of 10 situational interest factors, it can be expected that the factors for developing individual interest are included, so it can be expected to serve as a basis for expanding the study on the development of individual interest in mathematics learning. In addition, in order to maintain individual interest continuously, it is necessary to maintain situational interest by seeking continuous changes in teaching and learning methods in the school field. Therefore, it can be seen that the process of exploring the contextual interest factors included in teacher-centered teaching and learning methods and student-centered teaching and learning activities and extracurricular activities is meaningful.

Curriculum content interest has been studied in terms of teachers rather than students in ways that help revise curriculum and develop textbooks. In this study, 227 first-year high school students were interested in what they learned in middle school and what they learned in high school, focusing on meaningful assumptions and contents for middle school and high school students. We analyze this difference in interest by gender and achievement level. According to the research results, first-year high school students, who are in the middle and high school transition period, have relatively high interest in themselves, such as youth development, compared to family needs or interest in family life. There were no gender differences, but there were differences in content interest depending on the level of achievement. This means that the content interest should be interpreted by considering various variables such as the development of learners, the situation of learners in the school-level transition period, and the entrance examination of universities. The results of this study will provide implications for future curriculum revisions, textbook development, and curriculum considerations, and will need to be carefully analyzed and utilized based on a learner-centered perspective.

최근 디지털 맵이나 GIS와 같은 새로운 테크놀로지의 발달로 사회과 지리영역은 많은 변화가 요구되고 있다. 특히 교육방법적 측면에서 학생들의 흥미를 북돋워줄 수 있는 교수학습 방법의 개발과 적용이 필요하다. 그러나 기존의 시청각매체는 학생들의 흥미를 만족시켜주는데 한계가 있을 뿐만 아니라 최신의 자료가 반영되지 못한 경우가 많다. 요즘에는 인터넷의 발달로 지구상에서 일어나는 일을 쉽고 빠르게 찾아볼 수 있으며 구글 어스 등의 새로운 GIS를 활용하여 세계의 모습을 정확하고 손쉽게 볼 수 있다. 그러나 아직까지 교육과정에서 GIS를 활용하는 것에 관한 연구는 부족한 편이다. 이에 교육과정에서 활용할 수 있는 디지털 맵과 GIS를 조사하고, 이를 수업현장에서 활용할 수 있는 수업모형을 제안하고자 한다.

Two studies were conducted to investigate the interactive effect between temporal proximity of utility value and self-efficacy on situational interest and reengagement motivation. In study 1, university students were provided with either proximal or distal values of mental calculation task. Hierarchical regression analyses showed a significant interaction effect between distal utility value and high self-efficacy, indicating that distal utility value was more effective to induce situational interest and reengagement motivation for students with higher level of self-efficacy. In study 2, we replicated study 1 with high school students to investigate developmental differences and found the same results. These findings suggest that it is important to consider the level of self-efficacy and proximity of utility value in designing value intervention program.
