Engagement in Learning

Behavioral and Psychological Engagement
- Behavioral - any overt action a learner takes during an instructional episode
  - depress learning compared to methods that involve less learner activity
  - Clicking on-screen objects to reveal definitions or playing narrative based instructional game are two examples of active engagement that may not promote learning.
- Psychological - cognitive processing of content in ways that lead to the acquisition of new knowledge and skills
  - For example: paying attention to relevant material, mentally organizing it into coherent representation, and integrating it with relevant prior knowledge.
  - E-Learning intended for prime psychological engagement includes adding relevant on-screen visuals, including worked out examples or problems to study before practice and asking pertinent questions during an online presentation.
Goal: To use media elements and instructional methods that promote psychological engagement that leads to the achievement of learning objectives.
