Lack of interest, poor performance and indiscipline has become increasingly common in classrooms, it is not surprise that traditional teaching methods do not work, students can no longer engage with them. So, how to evoke in students the desire of learning? How to involve them in their own learning process?
We, as teachers, know our students, then, it will be a lit bit for us to find clever ways to engage our students, and we need to think about possibilities to face this challenge in creative and efficient way.
To exist an effective and lasting learning it is necessary that there are definite purpose and reflective self-activity of students. Thus, the real learning takes place when the student is interested and shown engaged in learning, that is, when it is motivated. It is the inner motivation of the student drives and vitalizes the act of studying and learning. Hence the importance of motivation in the teaching and learning.
Encourages a sense of well-being and comfort in the classroom, greater engagement in activities and learning, there must be a quality relationship between students and teachers, who along with mutual respect becomes a key element in the development of self-motivation.
Human beings learn, as experience experiences and develop thinking. Thought it is the way of intelligence to express themselves, so it is in thought, who lives learning. Every change of thinking, the learner produces its own knowledge. In other way any student has a particular way of receiving informations, and each new experience he rearranges the mental structures to adapt again to the world. The develop of thought is the mixture, the interposition of the particular mental structures of individuals and the environment, so much richer and more diverse are the experiences, the greater the development of thought and better the quality of knowledge, learning.
- Organizational autonomy: when the teacher allows students to make decisions for themselves, within the terms and classroom rules;
- Autonomy practice: when the teacher gives students options and different ways to present their ideas (through different media, for example.);
- Cognitive autonomy: when the teacher allows the student to self evaluation in certain situations from a pattern of self reference;
- Work with technology's: The students are in general interested in technology and when the teacher knows and works with it, it’s easier to get the students engaged in the learning process;
- Make learning groups, and help the students to support each other in a collaborative work.
- Encourage your students to find their learning goals;
- Getting out of classroom. Trying to use different environments;
- Always encourage your students to believe in themselves;
- Having fun classes.
Anyway, the teacher should always choose, in our view, a variety of educational process or methods to promote the engagement of the students.
