Students often engage in school seeking a reward (ex. Class rank, rewards, good grades) I do this as well, I strive to have great scholastic standing so it helps me keep p my grades and my understanding in classes. another way to engage kids is by making things fun for them, at my school we see a lot of fun days happen because the majority of the school is struggling and need a mental break!

Students become disengaged when doing "boring" or "non exciting" tasks. When a student is disengaged they either lash out/ disrupt, zone out or just do the minimum. Personally I disengage myself a lot in school while the teacher is talking but I can always come back from it!!

I believe that students are more engaged when they are given a choice in how to complete an assignment. Not every student can sit there and write an essay comparing A and B. Some need to draw Venn diagrams, some need to write out bulleted lists, and some just need to word vomit to the teacher about how A is better than B and vice versa. Not one student learns the same as another and that is what causes students to disengage.

I feel students become disengaged when the content is either non-interactive and doesn't relate to the student or when the students are forced to do something they otherwise love. I know students who love watching movies, but when they are forced to watch a movie and take notes, they are totally checked out and won't do the notes as well as they could or wont even do them at all Or if the lesson doesn't encourage student voice and is something like an open ended question that boils down to "Because of what you read is A or B right?".

Students become disengaged when the content is too "boring" for them. If the content is too repetitive then it causes them to become bored which will lead to them being disengaged.

To me if the content was more related to the students then they will be more engaged then if it was not relatable to them.

I feel that students engage more when the content relates to them. If I want to be a scientist then I would pay attention in math.

I feel that students disengage when the lesson is boring and has no meaning to them. Why sit and pay attention to the lesson if they find no meaning to it?

I feel that students disengage if the entire lesson is just a lecture. If the teacher is going to be talking the whole time they at least need to have a slide show of some sorts for the students to better understand the concept instead of just talking the entire class period.

I feel that a student is mostly engaged when the lesson is intriguing like for example, if you are learning about history a way to make it intriguing would be to involve the students and have them interact with you and the other students.

Student engagement is super important in the learning process. The reason for that is students learn the most when they have high attention and high commitment in the lecture or workshop. Both allow students to be successful on the next step of learning, which is seeing what you know by a test or worksheet.

When students become disengaged or not attentive in class, they begin to lose the process of learning. What I mean by is that they can't see the purpose of the lecture. I have been in this situation and have lost some critical learning that I could have used on the next big test or even the homework.

Students become disengaged when things are always repetitive. I think it is a good idea to always switch up the learning a little bit because it makes it more fun. Students also disengage with watching videos. Like why are we watching videos to teach us when we have a teacher? I understand with this class because we are online but I think it is an exuse for teachers to be lazy.

What I think causes students to be more engaged is when we give them that ability. Like giving students the ability to be creative and let their imagination flow. For example, maybe having students take notes... You could let them use fun colors of markers and thing like that.

Students become disengaged when constantly doing things like worksheets and quizzes day after day. They typically show this in more noticeable manners like not doing work or going against instruction or being off topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like when a student is engaged best is when we allow them to tap into their imaginations and create things in their own eyes. Allowing them to express themselves and their own views in their own ways makes them want to do things, because it's their work and nobody elses.

There are so many more ways to disengage a student than to engage them, which presents the issue. A droning teacher who just hands out worksheets and lectures the class sounds like no fun and any learner would dread walking into that class. Another disengaging educator might show no support towards their learners, meaning if they ask for help on a lesson the teacher might respond with, "we covered that already, check your notes" or "that's not in my job description" or some other form of not aiding that kid. That could cause hurt feelings and make the student unwilling to listen to the teacher in the first place. A teacher with an emphasis on grades rather than learning would disengage a learner too, I think. For example, "remember class a C will let you pass this class so just worry about the essay portion of this test". This might reinforce the ideas that students might be having about doing the bare minimum.

Keeping students engaged involves tapping into their curiosity.Iin order to keep their attention and give them space to learn new materials they have to be interested in the content to begin with. This is hard because not all information they need to know is necessarily all that exciting and intriguing. So a good tool would be getting kids up and moving or learning in groups or delivering content in different styles. Even asking the learners what would best suit them could help!

I find myself disengaged when the teachers play a movie or a video for us to take notes from. The lack of teacher to student interactions bores me. I either fall asleep during the movie or zone out. I just copied the paper of my classmate. The lights are usually off during a movie or dimmed which makes me even more sleepy.

I find myself being engaged in class where I feel a connection with the teacher. When I feel like the teacher really cares, I find myself being more attentive because they are the peers I look up too. In times when I am struggling I find myself asking for help to the teachers because I feel comfortable. I like when teachers tell their own personal journey or history about the lesson. When there is a teacher to students interactions in class along with activities, I am interested because I can visually see a teacher talking in class.

Most students that are disengaged are not learning the information even if they are able to spit the information back out they still aren't understanding. Many teachers don't care if the students are engaged or not so the students never fix their behavior. When students are disengaged they are generally zoned out or distracted by something else making it difficult to learn anything.

In order to be an engaged student you must be listening and responding to the information that is being presented. Most students that are engaged are looking at the teacher and looks attentive. In order to be engaged as a learner the teach must make the information relevent and interesting. It is very hard to be an engaged student but a teacher that can make students engaged is a good one.

Personally, I find it difficult to be engaged in class if there are external factors that are disrupting my ability to focus, such as: physical distractions in the classroom, a boring and non-interactive lesson, being tired, being stressed, being afraid to ask questions because of judgement, or only participating to maintain a high grade in class.

I feel like students tend to be more engaged in their lessons, especially in high school, when they can see a legitimate way they will use the lesson in their future. I have noticed that a lot of my classmates, including myself, respond well to humor in the our classes as well, so keeping a lively, interactive classroom helps to keep students engaged, too.

I've noticed that when there's an inconvenience to what the kids are doing they shut down and don't want to do anything including the thing they just got interrupted doing. They disengage and it's hard to try and get them back on task. Its like their protesting almost.

When kids like what they are being taught or if they find the material challenging enough they will be engaged. Its painfully boring to sit through a lesson that isnt advanced or for the wrong grade level for you. I hate being taught the same thing in english that the freshmen are learning because i've already learned it.

I don't do well in class when we just have notes. I need more than just writing off a presentation to retain information.

If the student feels connected with the learning they are more engaged. If they really like dragons, reading a book about dragons will make them more interested in the book's lesson.
