Abstract
-
The purpose of this action research project was to study the effects of collaborative activities and game elements on student engagement in a 10th grade biology classroom. Previous research analyzed during the initial literature review process points to these strategies having a positive correlation to student engagement. Results were gathered through a combination of student responses, lesson plans, and review of recorded lessons. On average, the addition of game elements to an exit ticket activity led to a 13% increase in student engagement and participation. Additionally, the application of collaborative learning activities led to greater student engagement as measured by more in-depth student responses.
