Students have proven through empirical data that more learning strategies and problem solving strategies, are present in interest classrooms. When students participate in activities that trigger their situational interest, students are more likely to engage in collection of information and research on their own. (Hidi, and Renninger 2006)

Students who participate in activities that fulfill both intrinsic and situational motivation factors experience more participation from students. Students feel as if they want to learn rather than they are being forced to learn creating a better learning environment. Secondly, because they are learning about something that sparks interest to them, they retain information and make connections faster than with other topics. (Bergin, 2010)

Quality of learning results are substantially higher, proved through empirical findings, when student interest and intrinsic motivational factors are present in the lesson. Activities that either captured a students situational interest, or was under a student individual interests showed students being more focus, doing more research, and educating themselves thoroughly on the topic.
