ABSTRACT
Most of the time, we are reasonably accurate if we assume that student learning is influenced by interest. However, it is not so easy to say more specifically why it is that this influence occurs or to what extent this influence affects the way in which things are learned. Learning involves not only that which people assimilate and to which they accommodate as information, but it involves how individuals represent task(s) to themselves, what they do to complete a task, and how their work with that task influences the way in which they go about subsequent tasks/activities.
