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)
