Golden Rules for Engaging Students in Learning Activities | Edutopia
tags: engagement post2blog
- it is essential that students perceive activities as being meaningful.
- when and how it is used in real life
- only slightly beyond students' current levels of proficiency
- Regularly demonstrate students’ understanding throughout the activity
- peer modelling
- eedback that helps students make progress.
- Collaborative
- When students work effectively with others, their engagement is consequently amplified
- Positive Teacher-Student Relationships
- enthusiasm
- When students pursue an activity because they want to learn and understand (i.e. mastery orientations), rather than simply to obtain a good grade, look smart, please parents, or outperform peers (i.e. performance orientations), their engagement is more likely to be full
