  • Interest development, self-related information processing, and practice

    Open AccessK Ann Renninger, Suzanne E Hidi et al.ARTICLETheory Into Practice2022Cited by: 4References: 47

    Educators have a critical stake in supporting the development of interest-as the presence of interest benefits sustained engagement and learning. Neuroscientific research has shown that interest is distinct from, but overlapping with, self-related information processing, the personally relevant connections that a learner makes to content (e.g., mathematics). We propose that consideration of self-related information processing is critical for enco…

  • To Level the Playing Field, Develop Interest

    Open AccessK Ann Renninger, Suzanne E Hidi et al.ARTICLEPolicy Insights from the…2020

    Individuals do not all come to tasks, activities, or assignments with the same readiness to engage. Differences in the ability to focus, comprehend, or problem-solve can lead to inequalities of outcome and make learners less likely to realize their potential. Given that interest development supports persistence, conscientiousness, and the ability to work with negative feedback, educators and policymakers could help to increase educational opportu…

  • Triggering and maintaining interest in early phases of interest development

    Open AccessK Ann Renninger, Jessica E Bachrach et al.ARTICLELearning Culture and Social…2019

    This article reports on the complexities of triggering and maintaining interest, a process that is initiated when something catches the attention of a learner. Triggering interest (the initiation of the psychological state of interest) can occur in both earlier and later phases of interest development. However, in this study we focus on this process in earlier phases of interest development. Findings from a study of the activity of eight, Black, …

  • The comparison of oral and written productions in two discourse types∗

    Suzanne E Hidi, Suzanne Hidi et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Processes1983Cited by: 8References: 2

    This study was designed to compare, on a qualitative and quantitative level, oral and written production in two genres. Children in Grades 3 and 5 were given a short introduction to a narrative and an opinion essay and asked to continue the discourse either in writing or by speaking into a tape recorder. The discourse protocols were then compared with respect to the semantic well‐formedness, cohesion and structure of the discourse, and the number…

  • Four-year olds' understanding of pretend and forget

    Open AccessSuzanne E Hidi, Suzanne Hidi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1979

    It is argued in this paper that 4-year-old children do not perform logical operations corresponding to formal logic upon the sentential components of implicative verbs to produce the indirect implications, as was suggested by Macnamara, Baker & Olson (1976). First, it is shown that the indirect implications tested by Macnamara et al. are not the implications which would be derived on the basis of formal reasoning. Second, additional empirical evi…
