Abstract | Student engagement drives students toward success or, if absent, a lack of engagement leaves students idling or even going in reverse. All good teachers know that more learning takes place when students are actually engaged in the curriculum. Yet, teachers often get so caught up in preparing students to pass the state's standardized tests that they forget the importance and possibility of real engagement. Even though creating an engaging learning environment can at times seem overwhelming, knowing the impact teachers can have on student engagement can offer a new perspective on teaching practices and the expectations they hold for their students. This article explores the concept of student engagement. Specifically, the authors ask: "What motivates students to see what they do in school as relevant, interesting, motivating, and ultimately transformative?" They suggest that to ensure success for every student, educators must continually strive for student engagement by involving them in relevant, meaningful, and transformative learning. (ERIC). |
