We are studying whether interest<\/em> – specifically interest in being\/becoming information literate – has an association to students’ information literacy skills. To measure this, we developed TRIQ.<\/p>\n

The Troms\u00f8 Interest Questionnaire (TRIQ)<\/h4>\n

TRIQ is the first suite of self-report subscales designed to explore how interest is experienced in relation to Hidi and Renninger’s Four-Phase Model of Interest Development (2006). In our research, we used information literacy as the object of interest, but TRIQ can also be used to measure general objects of interest, such as skiing or bird-watching.<\/p>\n

The TRIQ questionnaire consists 7 subscales: general interest, situational interest, positive affect, competence level, competence aspirations, meaningfulness and self-regulation. The subscales can also be used independently – if that is more appropriate to the research question being pursued – rather than using all 7 in the same questionnaire.<\/p>\n

Below are links to two versions of TRIQ. The first is for measuring interest in being or becoming information literate, and the second is for measuring any self-chosen object of interest. Norwegian translations are included.<\/p>\n
