Kan emotionellt stöd, pedagogiskt stöd och klassrummets organisering predicera engagemang hos förskolebarn?Jokela, Johanna January 2009 (has links)
<p>Tidigare forskning har bland annat visat att barn som vistas i klassrum med bra kvalitet är mer engagerade och att ett bra emotionellt stöd från läraren bidrar positivt till barnets sociala anpassning och lärande. Klassrumskvalitet delas enligt CLASS upp i emotionellt stöd, klassrummets organisering, pedagogiskt stöd och barnens genomsnittliga engagemang. Syftet i denna uppsats är att ta reda på vilket av områdena; emotionellt stöd, klassrummets organisering och pedagogiskt stöd som starkast predicerar barnens genomsnittliga engagemang i. Observation valdes som metod och gjordes på 16 olika förskoleavdelningar fördelat på 4 olika förskolor. Resultatet visade att det emotionella stödet starkast predicerar barns genomsnittliga engagemang. Genom att studera klassrumskvaliteten och lära oss mer om den kan vi kanske också förbättra den.</p><p> </p>

Being, Becoming, and Belonging: Exploring Students' Experiences of and Engagement within the International School in Hong KongJabal, Eric 09 June 2011 (has links)
An engaging education attends to the subjective quality of students’ perceptions and experiences within learning and school life: It converges on whether, how, and why students meaning-make and belong within the school; and focuses on the conditions for their attachment, participation, and commitment within school programmes, practices, policies, and people. Three main questions guided this two-phase, mixed-methods study: 1) What makes international schools engaging places for students? 2) What meanings do students attach to key areas of their day-to-day experiences within the international school in Hong Kong? 3) How might re-imagining student engagement through a cosmopolitan lens lead to clearer understandings of students’ experiences within the international school?
In Phase 1, an achieved sample of 729 senior secondary students at 9 purposively selected schools were surveyed using a mainly Likert scale questionnaire: to describe their socio-demographics; to examine the relationships between their socio-demographics, attitudinal features, and schooling experiences, as measured by the researcher-designed Experience of International School – Revised (EIS-R) scale; and to cluster using their socio-demographics and attitudinal profiles. Building on the tripartite cluster solution, Phase 2 used observations and interviews with 30 purposively sampled teacher-leaders and 34 students, from across the three clusters, to investigate how the “institutional habitus” (Thomas, 2002) the students encountered at two international schools shaped their experiences of and engagement within the contexts of school culture, community, curriculum, and co-curriculum.
A two-stage process of thematic content analysis revealed two super ordinate themes: 1) race/ethnic, linguistic, and nationality identities intersected to shape and challenge patterns of relationships amongst students (and between students/families) and the school to both include and exclude; and 2) the institutional contexts supported and constrained students’ sense of belonging therein. Overall, seen through a cosmopolitan lens the study implications are discussed as three lessons to achieve a better fit between students and the international school: 1) Attend to the school’s living and learning environment; 2) Take a cosmopolitan turn to school for cosmopolitan subjectivity; and 3) Adopt a student engagement-driven approach to improve and reform school policy, administration, and practice.

Students' Perception of Engagement in a Third-Grade Writing ClassroomSpinks, James D, Jr. 11 May 2012 (has links)
Educators have been challenged for many years to engage their students, but often students still seem to be disengaged (Klem & Connell, 2004). Research indicates student engagement is critical to student achievement and success in school (Appleton, 2008; Connell, Spencer, & Aber, 1994; Easton, 2008; Fredricks, Blumenfeld, & Paris, 2004). Student engagement is imperative in all subject areas, yet, after considering the research, writing is a particularly significant school subject that may be impacted by student engagement.
Considering the research on engagement and the need to improve students’ literacy achievement, there is a compelling reason to know how and when students are engaged in writing. The aim of this study was to investigate the intersection of engagement theory and students’ engagement. Specifically, this inquiry focused on the students’ perceptions of engagement while identifying indicators of engagement and factors affecting engagement related to the student, task, or context within the writing classroom. My study addressed the following questions: (a) How can student’s engagement in a writing classroom be described? and (b) What are students’ perceptions of their engagement in a writing classroom?
The findings of this study prompt educators to consider the importance of focusing on engagement in our classrooms. Students identified factors that promoted their engagement: importance of choice, making connections and teacher modeling. This study also found engagement and attitude influenced each other resulting in a positive classroom environment. Finally, this research identified the significance of student voice and how students are able to ascertain their level of engagement, if asked.

Att engagera sig eller att inte engagera sig : En studie om vilka informationskanaler och motivationsfaktorer som påverkar studenters val gällande föreningsengagemangSjöberg, Joakim, Reinhard, Oliver January 2011 (has links)
Both authors of this study have been involved in the School of Business at Umeå University Student Association (HHUS) and is due this discovery deficiencies and problems within the association. The pressure to engage in HHUS is compared with other financial organizations around the country very low. This led us to consider why this is the case. From experience we know that communication between the association and its members are not functioning optimally. Communication itself is essential for motivating students and for that motivation should be high for the students to experience good quality on the engagement. The purpose of this study is to identify lines of communication and motivational factors that affect students who are members of HHUS to get involved or not. By demonstrating and explaining any shortcomings of this study, we show how these deficiencies affect engagement in HHUS. In carrying out this study we have used the theories in communication, motivation and service quality. The study has been conducted in an objective manner with a positivistic approach. Through a deductive research approach with elements of induction, we start from theories in the above areas that concern our problem. Based on these theories, we have created a questionnaire that we distributed to all members of the HHUS group at Facebook, 113 of them completed the questionnaire. Based on the collected data received the survey have been analyzed by using SPSS. Our study shows that the communication channels that work least well for HHUS is the plasma screen, closely followed by the website. Best working channels was communication through Facebook and friends. We also discovered weakness in communication between HHUS and their members, which affects the ability to motivate students. What motivates students to become involved proves to be both to develop personally, but also to sharpen their resume. The biggest reason that students choose not to get involved is because they perceive the work environment within HHUS to be bad. Finally, we also examined how the quality of service commitment HHUS delivers. Through the use of a gap analysis, we investigated whether there were any deficiencies in the service. There has revealed that HHUS not really know what students want to engage in and as a result of this, they are also poor at adapting their entries by students' preferences.

Systematic Classroom Observation of the Quality of Teacher Behaviors and Student Engagement in Ethnically Diverse Pre-Kindergarten Through Second-Grade ClassroomsAlford, Beverly Lynn 2011 May 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to observe pre-kindergarten through second-grade
public school classrooms, specifically noting child-centered and teacher-directed
pedagogical approaches, by simultaneously examining: student behavior and activity
structure, teacher instructional orientation and rationale, and overall classroom
environment. The quantitative study built upon the work of Pianta, examining classroom
instruction and its effect on student engagement and educational quality; however,
unlike previous studies, researchers in the current study observed the nature of activity
structure and various student demographic variables. Additionally, dissimilar to prior
classroom observation studies, which typically included an overwhelming percentage of
White students, Hispanic and African American students comprised a large percentage
of the sample. And because policy-makers have called for more research-based
information on classroom instruction in the early childhood setting, an additional contribution is the use of systematic observation and analysis of young learners’
experiences within their classrooms.
The multi-faceted approach to classroom observation yielded one critical result:
Little to no variation existed in the activities in which young children were engaged in
their classrooms, nor in the instructional practices utilized by their early childhood
teachers. Accordingly, the study revealed few differences in student behavior and
teacher practices by student sex, student ethnicity, grade-level, English language
proficiency, and/or economic status. Instruction in these classrooms was almost entirely
standardized; however, three statistically significant findings showed that: (a) students
taught by teachers rated as having a higher developmentally appropriate instructional
practices (DAIP) score were more likely to be on-task and less likely to be off-task; (b)
students taught by teachers with a higher DAIP score were significantly more likely to
be working kinesthetically, answering teacher-posed questions, and freely exploring; and
(c) students taught by teachers with a lower DAIP score were significantly more likely to
be distracted and/or not engaging in activity. Study findings were significant, as, despite
research showing the unfavorable effects that highly teacher-centered, scripted
classrooms have on young students’ engagement and subsequent learning outcomes,
students continue to be taught in the same way—one in which reaching a designated test
score appears to be the singular, ultimate objective.

High School Students in College-Level Classes: Associations Between Engagement, Achievement, and Mental HealthRoth, Rachel Anne 01 January 2013 (has links)
Student engagement is a multifaceted construct gaining increased interest within the fields of psychology and education. Current literature suggests that student engagement is linked to important student outcomes including academic achievement, psychopathology, and mental wellness; however, there is a dearth of studies that have examined all components of student engagement simultaneously as they relate to the aforementioned outcomes. Additionally, past literature has found support for a decreasing trend in student engagement across the school years, but less attention has been paid to student engagement in the high school years. Among high school students, a particular subgroup has been virtually ignored: high-achieving students enrolled in college-level curricula such as International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP). Research questions answered in the current study pertain to: (a) differences in the components of student engagement among IB and AP students, (b) differences in the components of student engagement of IB and AP students across grade level, (c) the extent to which student engagement relates to academic achievement, and (d) the extent to which student engagement relates to mental health. To answer these questions, self-report surveys and school records data from 727 IB and AP high school students were analyzed. Several main effects for program type and grade level were found among the various dimensions of engagement, as well as two interactions between program type and grade level. Regarding predictive relationships, results indicate that the linear combination of all seven indicators of student engagement accounted for 19.56% of the variance in students' academic achievement, 17.47% of the variance in students' life satisfaction, and 6.17% of the variance in students' anxiety. Implications for school psychologists and future directions are discussed.

Engaging African American male students in predominately white community colleges : the impact of teaching excellenceDarville, Christopher John 30 January 2012 (has links)
Although community colleges offer opportunities for diverse students to achieve their educational goals, African American males continue to rank at the bottom of most academic success measures such as semester-to-semester retention and degree completion. Research shows that factors associated with teaching excellence (how well a faculty member exhibits enthusiasm, clarity, preparation/organization, stimulation, and love of knowledge) should encourage student engagement. The following research questions are proposed for this study: 1. How do faculty discuss teaching excellence relative to the academic engagement of African American males? 2. How do African American male students discuss the importance of faculty members’ race in relationship to their academic engagement? 3. How, if at all, does the age of an African American male student impact his academic engagement? 4. How do first-generation and second-generation collegiate African American male college students differ, if at all, in academic engagement?
To conduct this research, a mixed method paradigm will be used. A quantitative instrument will be utilized to identify highly engaged African American male students and those who teach them. Qualitative analysis will lead to discovery of how teaching excellence affects the engagement of the target population of students. This research will add to current literature by examining the impact of the criteria of teaching excellence on African American male students in predominately white community colleges. / text

The protective effect of social support on student engagement for high school students experiencing dating abuseWalker, Kimberly Marie 24 February 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of social support as a moderator between dating abuse and student engagement. Informed by the positive youth development perspective and the stress-buffering model, this study will examine the effects of dating abuse victimization on student engagement and the buffering role of social support in that relationship. Specifically, this study will use self-report measures from a rural/semi-rural, high school sample and multiple regression analysis to determine the effect of dating abuse on student engagement. If a significant relationship is found between dating abuse and student engagement, this study will then use multiple regression analysis to determine the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between dating abuse and student engagement. Research on the protective effects of social support on student engagement is critical to the design and implementation of interventions which have the potential to significantly improve the health, mental health, social, and education outcomes for adolescents who have experienced dating abuse. / text
