Engagement – some definitions • Learners must be meaningfully engaged in learning activities through interaction with others and worthwhile tasks • “Students make a psychological investment in learning. ..They take pride not simply in earning the formal indicators of success (grades), but in understanding the material and incorporating or internalizing it in their lives.“(Newmann, F. (1992) Student Engagement and Achievement in American Secondary Schools. Teachers College Press. pp. 2–3). • Learners are engaged when they are involved in their work, persist despite challenges and obstacles, and take visible delight in accomplishing their work
