UNIT IV: STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

CONNECT
Using your observation from the two sets of pictures, answer the following guide
questions. Write your answers in your study notebook or e-portfolio.
Which set of pictures shows a great deal of student engagement? Why?
Answer:
As I am looking closely in the set of photos, I noticed that students in Set A are inside the
classroom, while the students on Set B are performing an activity outside the classroom. In my
opinion as a student, students on Set B are having a great deal of student engagement.
Which set of pictures do you think limits student creativity and active learning? Why?
Answer:
The students in Set A are the ones limited to student creativity and active learning. Students
who participate in hands-on activities learn more new ideas related to the topic than that of the
students who are only having discussions inside the classroom.
Which instructional practice would you prefer to have in the future? Why?
Answer:
Since both are beneficial to student learning and engagement. I will carefully plan my classroom
activities and strategies to make sure that I give my future students the knowledge and
engagement they need.
