Data were drawn from the Michigan Study of Adolescent and Adult Life Transitions Study. We focused on students who participated in the following 4 waves of data collection (N = 867): at the beginning of Grade 7 (Wave 3), at the end of Grade 7, in Grade 10 (Wave 5), and in Grade 12 (Wave 6). Four profiles that were stable across Grades 7 to 12 were identified using Latent Profile Analysis. Student-reported fairness and friendliness and competition in class predicted changes in profile membership. Profile membership in Grade 7 predicted math-related career plans in Grade 12. Profile membership in Grade 12 predicted the choice of math-related college major after finishing school and of math-related occupations in adulthood.}, language = {en} } @article{LazaridesGaspardDicke2019, author = {Lazarides, Rebecca and Gaspard, Hanna and Dicke, Anna-Lena}, title = {Dynamics of classroom motivation}, series = {Learning and instruction : the journal of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction}, volume = {60}, journal = {Learning and instruction : the journal of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0959-4752}, doi = {10.1016/j.learninstruc.2018.01.012}, pages = {126 -- 137}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Interest is important for successful student learning, but little is known about the developmental dynamics between interest and social support in classrooms. Based on the stage-environment fit theory, this study investigated the interrelation of developmental changes in student class-level interest and perceived teacher support in mathematics classes over one school year after the students transitioned to secondary school. We also examined how teacher-reported enthusiasm was related to these changes. Data of 1000 students (53.6\% male) and their classroom teachers (N = 42), who were surveyed at the beginning of Grades 5 and 6, were analyzed. The results showed a significant decline in class-level mathematics interest and perceived teacher support. Teacher-reported enthusiasm buffered the decline in class-level mathematics interest. When including bidirectional relationships between perceived teacher support and the students' interest, perceived class-level teacher support in Grade 5 positively predicted the change in student interest and, thus, buffered the decline.}, language = {en} }
