Читать книгу Student Engagement Techniques - Elizabeth F. Barkley - Страница 23

We have suggested that teachers can do much to promote motivation and active learning, and that when they do so, they can improve student engagement and ultimately student learning outcomes.

Understanding basic principles drawn from research and theory on motivation and active learning can offer insights into how to promote student engagement. Let us therefore explore the first element in our model of student engagement, student motivation, in greater depth.
