• Interest is a psychological state that is characterized by an affective component of positive emotion and a cognitive component of concentration (Hidi & Renninger, 2006)
• Interaction between a person and surrounding context
• Prior knowledge is related to interest experience (Alexander, Jetton & Kullikowich, 1995)
• Students who experienced more interest also showed more persistence, and performed better in a recall test (Ainley, Hillman & Hidi, 2002)
WHAT IS INTEREST?
www.helsinki.fi/yliopisto
THE FOUR-PHASE MODEL OF INTEREST (Hidi & Renninger, 2006)
• Situational interest (CATCH)
a) triggered
b) maintained
• Individual interest (HOLD)
a) emerging
b) well-developed
www.helsinki.fi/yliopisto
INSTRUCTION PROMOTING INTEREST? (Tsai et al, 2008)
• If the teachers control too much, students’ emotions are less positive
• Cognitive autonomy is supported during lessons where students’ prior knowledge and understanding are activated and the aims are transparent
• Such lessons are associated with more enjoyment and interest!

Books, Internet materials, small groups, chats, wikis, blogs, touch pad devices, new mobile technologies, interactive whiteboards (or –walls), new kinds of learning spaces, social media, avatars, videos, voice clips, etc.
All of these are integrated in an environment that is designed to support learning and knowledge creation
The solutions shall scale up, given that there is an efficient pedagogical script: an engaging learning model

How to promote flow and meaningful learning in teacher education – and in the classroom?
• Increasing understanding of agency and ownership in learning processes
• Authentic environments and contexts
• Inquiry-, case-, or problem-based learning
• Promoting flow and understanding the interplay between emotions and intelligence action
• Peer-to-peer interaction and collaborative learning
• Blended learning environments: e-Education as a natural part of life
• Developing new social knowledge practices
