With a class you teach in mind, pick two of the following areas which - if addressed- would have a significant influence on the quality of learning.
What can you do to ensure that pupils are engaged in their learning?
Pupils are more likely to engage in their learning when the teacher provides opportunities for them to:
• be clear about the purpose and relevance of their work;
• relate new knowledge and experiences provided during lessons to something they already understand;
• experience some variety in the way information is presented during lessons;
• experience activities that generate curiosity and interest;
• ask questions and try out ideas;
• see what they have achieved and how they have made progress;
• understand how they are thinking and learning;
• get a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment from their work;
• build positive images of themselves as learners.
