Data were collected from a class of twenty-four Year 11 students in a middle size, co-educational New Zealand school, through Science Laboratory Environment Inventory, student questionnaires, focus group interviews and classroom observations. The participants provided some insightful comments about their learning of science investigation. Illustrative examples highlight; what students found motivational and what demotivated them, what and how the Analysis onderwijs education natuurwetenschappelijk onderwijs science education leerplan curriculum Education (General) Onderwijs (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Science -- Study and teaching Motivation in education.
