Kimberlyn Boddie PSY - 201 - Educational Psychology 5-3 Article Critique: Module Five April 3, 2023 Dr. Kelli Barnes This week, I picked an article from Beyond the Journal by Judy Jablon and Michael Wilkinson titled "Using Engagement Techniques to Support Children's Learning and Achievement." The effects of engagement in learning on both students and teachers are covered. This critical topic is connected to the ideas covered in this course. Understanding the kind of setting that supports children the most is important as we research the effects of the setting and culture in which students' study. Jablon and Wilkinson observed classrooms and talked with teachers about their strategies. The fact that students cited this as one of their sources demonstrates how these instructors foster an environment in the classroom that is stimulating and encourages participation. They discussed many approaches that involve asking students about their knowledge, learning goals, and opinions on the topic. This encourages students to participate in the educational process, which Jablon and Wilkinson claim is crucial for assisting students in maintaining their attention. It is hoped that children who are active learners in the early stages of learning will carry these qualities with them as they continue in school. Hence, students’ interest in learning and sense of competence will increase. They also highlight how this type of learning environment affects teachers, who are "inspired by the children's heightened excitement and achievement," in their research. It was enlightening
to learn how it impacts both sides because most of our reading was about children. In addition to the students themselves, educators have a significant impact on the learning environment. It is crucial to hear from educators that the learning environment they foster inspires excitement in their students and makes them eager to study, which in turn enables them to do their duties. The article does highlight the significance of this technique to teaching, even though particular data was not gathered. The article's introduction described an activity in which Ms. Neil's class members were divided into groups and asked to discuss the dictionary. Do they know anything? What details do they discover after reading it? She then instructed them to chart the data. According to Jablon and Wilkinson, by doing this, the students are learning how to utilize dictionaries and engage in literacy activities. Students are applying the method of discovery by being required to work in teams and investigate what the dictionary offers and map out the available knowledge. Lack of data could make it difficult to determine whether the information is accurate, which would restrict the claim about how successful involvement is for both teacher and students. I do believe that the information gives researchers a chance to go further by looking at test results to demonstrate how beneficial something is. We may contrast schools that use this approach more frequently with others that don't engage pupils as much. To find out if there is a trend that would support this argument, the data may be gathered across several years. References Jablon, J., & Wilkinson, M. (2006).
