Optimal Learning Environments to Promote Student Engagement
analyzes the psychological, social, and academic phenomena
comprising engagement, framing it as critical to learning and
development. Drawing on positive psychology, flow studies, and
theories of motivation, the book conceptualizes engagement as a
learning experience, explaining how it occurs (or not) and how
schools can adapt to maximize it among adolescents. Examples of
empirically supported environments promoting engagement are
provided, representing alternative high schools, Montessori
schools, and extracurricular programs. The book identifies key
innovations including community-school partnerships,
technology-supported learning, and the potential for engaging
learning opportunities during an expanded school day. Among the
topics covered: Engagement as a primary framework for understanding
educational and motivational outcomes. Measuring the malleability,
complexity, multidimensionality, and sources of engagement. The
relationship between engagement and achievement. Supporting and
challenging: the instructor's role in promoting engagement.
Engagement within and beyond core academic subjects. Technological
innovations on the engagement horizon. Optimal Learning
Environments to Promote Student Engagement is an essential resource
for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in child and
school psychology; social work; educational psychology; positive
psychology; family studies; and teaching/teacher education.
