• Resumen

  • It is generally accepted that students enjoy practical work in science and that it has the potential to increase their interest in lessons and in science. After a short discussion of an accepted psychological model of interest, this article explores how interest development can be supported though practical work by focusing on a number of Interest Factors that have been identified as a result of a recent study conducted by the author.
