Active Engagement Strategies

 

What is Active Engagement?

"Active engagement refers to the joint functioning of motivation, conceptual knowledge, cognitive strategies, and social interactions in literacy activities" (Guthrie & Anderson, 1999).

 

"Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read, and reflect on the content, ideas, issues and concerns of an academic subject" (Meyers & Jones, 1993).

 

Active Engagement and Motivation

Factors affecting the development of intrinsic motivation in a school setting:

  • Level of challenge offered by tasks and materials

  • Quality and timing of feedback to students about their work

  • Supports and scaffolds available to learners

  • Students’ interest in tasks and content

  • Nature of the learning context

 

Intrinsically motivated students tend to persist longer, work harder, actively apply strategies, and retain key information more consistently. 

Guthrie, McGough, et al., 1996; Guthrie & Van Meter, et al., 1996

 

Active Engagement and Cognitive Strategies 

 

Engaged readers use cognitive strategies for integrating information, and communicating and representing their understanding. Cognitive strategies are procedures that can help students succeed at higher-order tasks.  Some strategies are: 

  •  Activating prior knowledge before, during, and after reading
  •  Self-questioning
  •  Monitoring comprehension
  •  Summarizing 

Baker, Dreher, & Guthrie, 2000
