Hi everyone and thanks for reading my blog,
This week’s assignment has been probably the
most difficult one yet, at least for me.
After following the directions and looking for books through the
Leatherby Library I came up empty handed multiple times. I eventually circled back to the book and
looked over chapter two in which Badke asks us to really think about what
question it is we want to answer with our paper and research. And so with that in mind I decided that what I
really want to research and learn is the various methods used to keep students
engaged and participating in the classroom.
I want to learn what part psychology, sociology and even technology play
in the classroom and how they are helping teachers and students succeed
together in the classroom.
I started by researching education in California,
psychology of education, and lastly classroom engagement. I looked through books and then decided that
my best option would be to use E-books as I would have the option of accessing
them immediately. This search finally led me to the e-book “Total Participation
Techniques: Making Every Student and Active Learner” by Pérsida
Himmele and William Himmele. I think that this book will be a great start to my
research as it will help me learn about total participation techniques and
classroom engagement. What I am hoping
to eventually find with my research are proven techniques that have helped
teachers keep their students engaged and that will ultimately lead students to
gain a greater understanding and commitment to their education.
