B 31 32 Practical Work in Secondary Science Researcher: Do you like practical work? KN9: Yeah. Researcher: Why? KN9: Because you get to make things and do exciting experiments that are exciting. KN11: And at primary school you didn’t get to do anything exciting. Researcher: You didn’t? So you come to secondary school and you can do exciting practical work. KN9: We did experiments, but nothing that involved Bunsen burners. 4 suggest is that an ‘absolute’ liking of practical work, that arises out of the fun, enjoyment and excitement that pupils appear to associate with using new equipment and/or materials in what is a novel environment – the science laboratory – starts to wane, for many pupils, during the latter part of their first year at secondary school.
Because personal interest entails a liking of the subject or activity for itself the kind of liking that leads to preferring practical work to non-practical alternatives is likely to produce, at best, situational interest. 1 is to divide the reasons pupils gave for liking practical work into three broad categories: (i) Reasons that related to their affective response to practical work. (ii) Reasons that related to doing things with objects and ideas. (iii) Reasons that related to learning about objects and ideas.
5 shows, claims in the broad ‘affective’ category constitute the largest group of reasons given by pupils for liking practical work, accounting for 76 per cent of all responses. It should, however, be pointed out that some of the reasons for liking practical work within this category, as the following quotation illustrates, are less of a positive endorsement of practical work than a desire to avoid having to write and/or do too much work: Researcher: Do you like practical work? SW1: Yeah it’s better than doing other work.
