Recommendation
Organized around strategies to engage students in learning course-related knowledge and skills and techniques for developing learner attitudes, values, and self-awareness, this book offers a wide variety of practical ideas for "enhancing the classroom experience for students and teachers alike." This book and others by Barkley and Major are the ones I recommend most to instructors. They are pedagogical "bibles."
The revised and updated second edition of Student Engagement Techniques is a much-needed guide to engaging today's information-overloaded students. The book is a comprehensive resource that offers college teachers a dynamic model for engaging students and includes over one hundred tips, strategies, and techniques that have been proven to help teachers across all disciplines motivate and connect with their students.
This edition will provide a deeper understanding of what student engagement is, demonstrate new strategies for engaging students, uncover implementation strategies for engaging students in online learning environments, and provide new examples on how to implement these techniques into STEM fields.
