To prepare students for instructive collaboration, it is necessary to have insight into students' psychological needs and interest development. The framework of self-determination theory was used to conduct a field experiment involving 114 students in vocational education. These students followed a practical business course which required they work in small learning groups. During the course, students were asked to complete the Quality of Working in Groups Instrument, an online measure of how strong autonomy, competence, social relatedness, and task interest are fulfilled. SEM showed that students' psychological needs were jointly and uniquely related to task interest over time. The significance of this on-line test for the assessment of interest within project-based education is discussed.
为使学生做好进行有指导意义的合作的准备，有必要深入了解学生的心理需求和兴趣发展。运用自我决定理论框架进行了一项实地实验，涉及114名职业教育学生。这些学生修读一门实用商业课程，该课程要求他们以小组形式学习。在课程期间，要求学生完成“小组工作质量量表”，这是一种在线测量自主、能力、社会关联和任务兴趣实现程度的工具。结构方程模型显示，随着时间推移，学生的心理需求与任务兴趣存在共同且独特的关联。本文讨论了这种在线测试对基于项目的教育中兴趣评估的意义。
