Student motivation has been identified as important in supporting the learning, growth, and development of physical education students. A key construct that is housed within motivation is situational interest. Situational interest is an affective response that has been associated with enhanced levels of student engagement and involvement. The aim of this article is to provide the PE teacher with an understanding of the sources and pedagogical strategies that can assist in supporting the situational interest of students. Specifically, five key sources of situational interest are discussed, as well as teaching and learning approaches that can be applied across a range of PE settings
