This book examines promoting engagement for children and
adolescents from challenging contexts or who are dealing with
challenging conditions. The volume concentrates on three vulnerable
groups: marginalized youths who have experienced repeated exclusion
and sought their second chance in alternative education; children
who are coming from economically, culturally, and linguistically
disadvantaged backgrounds; and students with social or emotional
issues. It defines engagement as evolving over the course of
learning, an interpersonal as well as personal process involving
students, learning environment, teachers, and peers. Chapters
identify the complex personal, sociocultural, economic, and
systemic barriers that keep these vulnerable students from fully
engaging in school, and explore the enabling role of collaborative
and supported learning activities in building academic success and
a foundation for productive adult lives. In addition, chapters
present instructional practices based on engagement enablers.
Chapters also pinpoint specific learning skills and subject areas
that can provide openings for promoting motivation and
participation. Featured topics include: The importance of cognitive
and social enablers for promoting learning engagement. Engagement
in instruction from teachers and testing within classrooms. Student
voice and perspective as a reading engagement enabler. Promoting
academic engagement and aspiration for challenging and advanced
mathematics. Alternative educational programs for re-engaging
marginalized youths who "don't fit". Empowering Engagement is a
must-have resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners,
clinicians, and graduate students in the fields of child and school
psychology, educational policy and politics, social work,
motivation and learning, schooling and pedagogies, and related
disciplines.
This book presents cutting-edge research findings in areas critical
to advancing reading research in the 21st century context,
including new literacies, reading motivation, strategy instruction,
and reading intervention studies. While students' reading
performance is currently receiving unprecedented attention, there
is a lack of research that adopts an international perspective and
draws on research expertise from different parts of the world to
present a concerted effort, discussing key research models and
findings on how to improve reading education. Addressing this gap
in the literature, the book also responds to the challenge of
promoting higher levels of literacy, and supporting and developing
readers who can enjoy and critique texts of every genre.
