Grade Level, Gender, and School-Related Curiosity in Urban Elementary Schools.
Engelhard, George, Jr.; Monsaas, Judith Ann
Journal of Educational Research, v82 n1 p22-26 Sep-Oct 1988
Results of a study of 298 students (grades 3, 5, and 7) enrolled in Catholic and public schools suggest that school-related curiosity decreases as a function of grade level in both school settings. The grade level effect appeared stronger in the Catholic school. No significant gender effect was noted. (IAH)
