Beskrivning
Several researchers have argued that eudaimonic well-being is closely tied to intrinsic type of motivation such as interest. In the proposed study we refer to content-specific individual interest by the term subject-matter interest. The research project is coming to be a follow-up study which target group is fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders (N=300). On one hand, the aim is to find students who have developed a subject-matter interest in some school subjects and on the other hand, to find students whose subject-matter interest has waned during the follow-up period. The relationships among the type of motivation to learn, eudemonic well- being and learning is also going to be investigated. The proposed follow-up study relies on the interplay of quantitative and qualitative research, and can be called a mixed-methods study.
