Abstract

Assessment of student curiosity levels in college classrooms may be instrumental in shaping the course content and molding program curricula to be more relevant and intuitive for students. We use survey data to explore specific dimensions of curiosity as they relate to student demographics and program standing. Results indicate that gender and standing in the program significantly influenced responses for the questions regarding social curiosity and seeking out situations where one will have to think in depth about something and interest in looking for experiences that challenge how one thinks about themselves and the world. Students' major being agribusiness or not also significantly influenced responses to the question that evaluated interest in looking for experiences that challenge how one thinks about themselves and the world, while age and enrollment in online versus on-campus courses showed no significant effect on student response to any of the questions representing different curiosity dimensions.
