Engagement Theory:
A framework for technology-based teaching and learning
Throughout my schooling I remember how disengaged and uninvolved i made myself when I was unable to relate myself or have any interest in the class and activities. As I got older, high schools offered a choice with what classes you could take. By choosing my own class relating to my own interests, I noticed myself becoming involved. The second thing I noticed in my schooling was the impression teachers can make on classes and people. I believe it takes just that one special teacher to make the difference. By making a class interesting, purposeful, interactive and involving interests amongst the class, students and teachers both excel and benefit from the class. These strategies and situations follow through to university.......
The engagement theory has three important principles
Relate:
Promotes collaborative learning, management, planning and social skills. Working in groups often creates motivation, knowledge and understanding amongst diversity while working in groups.
Create:
Creates a sense of choice and control, this gives students decisions on their own interests and control over their own learning.
Donate: This theory creates motivation and interests when the students contribute to the activities and projects.
The learning theory promotes shift in thinking about computers in education as communication tools rather than some form of media delivery devices. This theory examines the use of technology, not just and a helpful learning tool, but human interaction and evolution tool.
