Abstract
-
This action research paper aims to “Increase Student Engagement in High School Business Classes Through Providing Real-Life Connections to Students” using bell hook’s engagement pedagogy theory. This study evaluates students' responses to different engagement strategies to promote learning and connect what they learn with their life environment.
The data collected during the study show positive results using lesson plans, visuals, videos, games, pair-and-share, and group discussions. A student survey reflected an increase in the levels of positive engagement in classroom instruction, which was a great accomplishment. There was also a definite establishment of connectivity between concepts learned by the students and how they translated them to their real-life environment. As a teacher, I know there is always room for improvement, and we must continue to evolve and grow as our students keep evolving and changing.
