Eliciting Engagement in the High School Classroom: A Mixed-Methods Examination of Teaching Practices
Cooper, Kristy S. – American Educational Research Journal, 2014
This case study analyzes how and why student engagement differs across 581 classes in one diverse high school. Factor analyses of surveys with 1,132 students suggest three types of engaging teaching practices--connective instruction, academic rigor, and lively teaching. Multilevel regression analyses reveal that connective instruction predicts…
