ENGAGING STUDENTS IN CLASS
Just sitting quietly and taking
in instruction in class are simply not enough to learn adequately. Research has
demonstrated that engaging students in the learning process increases their
attention and focus, motivates them to practice higher-level critical thinking
skills and promotes meaningful learning experiences. Active learning requires
students to participate in class.
The teacher can make this
possible by employing brief question-and-answer sessions, discussion integrated
into the lecture, impromptu writing
assignments and hands-on activities. Applying these strategies with real effort
on the part of the teacher, will facilitate learning and enhance retention of
the material. Also, the students will thoroughly enjoy the lesson as against
just sitting for hours absorbing information which soon turns out to be boring.
