How to Increase Student Engagement in the Classroom

How do your Students behave in the Classroom?

The 4 Pillars of Student Engagement

• 1. Personalized Learning:
• Not everyone has the same needs, so different methodologies must be
• applied. In order for students to remain engaged in the classroom, it is
• vital to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each student and
• handle them separately.
• 2. Learning without Limits:
• Why limit learning in the classroom from 10am to 11am? The fewer
• boundaries we have in learning, the better. Learning should be a
• continuous process.
• 3. Student-Driven Learning: Students
• should be responsible for their own learning and success. Here, we are
• referring to a learning process adapted to their individual interests
• and goals.
• 4. Competency-Based Learning:
• It is great to witness a student’s ability to memorize formulas but if
• these cannot be used to solve problems, what’s the point? The different
• stages of learning should be set according to practical competences and
• not external factors such as hours of study or class attendance.

Student Engagement Routine

• We can design various learning processes with the help of these 4
• pillars, always taking into consideration the specific subject, the
• class level and, of course, the targeted students.
• Start by creating a Study Group
• in GoConqr to ensure there are no limitations to the students’
• learning (learning without limits). Within this group, you can start
• discussions, polls and share resources.
• Different types of study resources can be shared to
• give students the ability to explore different learning styles.
• Resources can even be shared with a specific student for a more personalized learning.
• To broaden the student’s knowledge, GoConqr
• offers tools that can be used to create study resources. They can also
• avail of more that 2 million study resources from the GoConqr public
• library. These resources can be used by students for some intensive
• research on a particular topic or to explore their own personal
• interests (student-driven learning).
• Collaborative Learning
• Understanding Your Learning Styles
• Learning and Study Skills
