Abstract

<p>The classic Expectancy × Value Theory of motivation assumed the synergistic effect of “expectancy” and “value”. However, modern theory has mainly focused on the additive effects. Recently, the synergistic effects have been rediscovered (Nagengast et al., 2011). Previous studies have only examined models that assumed additive effects, leaving it unclear as to whether there are synergistic effects or not. This study focused on observations and experiments in science classes and examined the effects of self- efficacy (expectancy) and interest (value) on the students’ tendencies to use different learning strategies. The results showed that there was an interaction pattern for the problem-solving strategy, which is a deep learning strategy, consistent with the expectancy×value theory, and a second-order interaction between the intensity of interest (positive affect), depth of interest (proactive thinking orientation) and self-efficacy. Based on these results, we interpreted the science educational meaning of “×” and emphasized the importance of self-efficacy among learners.</p>
