Motivation: To be moved to do something The degree to which a student puts effort into and focus on learning in order to experience success
Four Critical Factors in Student Motivation • Competence/Mastery • Autonomy • Value/Interest • Relatedness (Bandura, 1996; Dweck, 2010; Pintrich, 2003; Ryan & Deci, 2000; Seifert, 2004)
Student Engagement Student willingness, need, desire, and compulsion, to participate in, and be successful in the learning process. (Bomia, Beluzo, Demeester, Elander, Johnson, & Sheldon, 1997)
Benefits of Student Engagement • Increased motivation • Greater attention and focus • Retention of learning • Enhanced ability to transfer learning to multiple contexts
Classroom Engagement • During a lesson, aim to engage students 90-100% of the time. • Lessons where students are engaged 50% of the time or less are an ineffective use of instructional time. • Wasting just 5 minutes a day will add up to 15 hours of lost instructional time in the course of a 180 day school year.
The Engaged Classroom • All students are authentically engaged at least some of the time or most of students are authentically engaged most of the time. • Ritual compliance and re-treatism is rarely observed and rebellion is non-existent.
The Well Managed Classroom • Compliant and orderly classroom • Picture of traditional education • Most students appear to be working • Little evidence of rebellion • Retreatism is a real danger
The Pathological Classroom • Students are off-task • Retreatism and rebellion are easy to observe • Some degree of authentic, ritual, and passive engagement • Teacher spends most of time dealing with rebelling students rather than teaching
