They considered the improved personal interest is gradually evolved from the triggered situational interest. And Deci et al proposed multi-dimensional structure model of situational interest, which provides theoretical basis for the research and measurement of situational interest. However, in the existing domestic study, the measurement researches of situational interest more focused on reading situation, the measurement of the classroom situational interest is deficient, although it is very important for the development of personal interest in learning.
