Measuring Student Engagement During Inquiry-Based Learning
Track
Research Proposal / Learning Theories and Pedagogy
Abstract
The presenter will discuss the results of research conducted to determine and classify students’ motivations and hesitations in engagement during inquiry-based learning classroom activities. Qualitative data from class writing assignments, an online survey, and qualitative interviews were used to identify the reasons students actively collaborated with classmates during an activity or why they choose to independently complete the activity. For each of the identified reasons students hesitate to actively engage with classmates during an activity, the presenter will discuss potential methods that can be used to encourage students to overcome their hesitations.
