Abstract

Abstract This study investigates students’ motivation during experimentation in geography lessons by implementing a newly developed experimental kit on soils (GeoBox) in Germany. The study focuses on a first evaluation by means of a one-group pretest/posttest design. Fifth-grade students (N = 166) answered a questionnaire pertaining to regular geography lessons (pretest) and took part in eight lessons with GeoBox, followed by a questionnaire regarding the experimental learning phase (posttest). Upon comparison of pretest and posttest scores, the results showed significant intra-individual differences regarding activation and students’ motivation. Students valued GeoBox and expected to be successful at tasks that entailed use of the kit.

学生在实验活动中的动机:德国GeoBoxes的实证研究

摘要本研究通过在德国实施新开发的土壤实验工具包(GeoBox)来调查学生在地理课上的实验动机。本研究采用单组前测/后测设计进行首次评价。五年级学生(N = 166)回答了一份关于常规地理课程的问卷(前测)，并参加了8节GeoBox课程，随后是一份关于实验学习阶段的问卷(后测)。通过比较测试前和测试后的成绩，结果显示在激活和学生动机方面存在显著的个体差异。学生们重视GeoBox，并期望在需要使用该工具包的任务中取得成功。
