Encourage students to develop a deep approach to learning.
Research show that students who approach learning in a “deep”
way get more out of their educational experience. By providing
meaningful assessments, offering appropriate choices, and
showing enthusiasm for your subject, you can help students
become deep learners. Perhaps simply addressing boredom in your
class may be one of the most important things to do in order to
promote student engagement. Though addressing the fact that some
students may be bored in your class may feel uncomfortable,
doing so can greatly assist them to take more responsibility for
their learning. Research suggests that instructors who teach
students how to see value and relevance in what they are being
taught are able to maximize the students’ learning potential.
