Abstract	This [...] volume reflects the emergent state of research on learner interest in mathematics and science learning and related activity in formal and informal contexts. It is the first to address the range of approaches to studying interest in K-16 mathematics and science learning; from the learning of children as young as those in kindergarten - the "K" of K-16 - to that of undergraduate learners completing "Grade 16." It includes chapters that focus on mathematics and/or science learning, as well as chapters addressing the integration of these disciplines with technology and engineering as STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). [...] The chapters of the volume are organized into three sections based on the primary focus of the research questions they address: interest and other related motivational and demographic variables, subject matter and interest, and interest development. Researchers addressing interest and other variables suggest a reciprocal, or proportional, relation of the given variable [...] for learners with less or more developed interest. Their focus differs from that of researchers who focus on questions about interest and subject matter. [...] "Interest and Other Motivational and Demographic Variables" [Section 1]: The chapters addressing interest and other motivational and demographic variables describe findings from studies in which interest was studied as an independent variable that relates to other variables such as achievement; competence and disciplinary understanding; gender; self-efficacy; self-regulation, and social class. [...] The chapters that focus an "interest and subject matter [Section 2] examine what is needed to support learner interest in the tasks of mathematics and/or science and/or point to the critical role of the responsive educator in engaging learners in such tasks. These researchers are particularly concerned about how to support educators to increase their students' learning of mathematics and/or science and/or to develop their interest in this subject matter. The chapters of the third section concern "interest development". They describe studies that contribute to understanding specific aspects of interest development. (Orig.).
