Abstract

The project examines two recently developed teaching methods to increase interest: Example choice and relevance intervention. Example choice makes learning of formal principles interesting by providing students with different contents they can choose from and then connecting these contents to the principle to be learned. Relevance intervention makes learning of principles interesting by relating them to goals relevant for students' everyday life. This study examines the combined effects of example choice with both active and passive relevance intervention. This study comprises three datasets.
