New Empirical Insights on What Energizes Learners: A Session on Emotions and Engagement

Sun, April 15, 8:15 to 10:15am, Millennium Broadway New York Times Square, Floor: Seventh Floor, Room 7.04

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Education increasingly focuses on technologically-enhanced teaching and opportunities to learn seem endless in our societies. Nevertheless, skilled experts are still lacking in many fields, specifically in STEM, and substantial human intellectual potential seems to remain untapped because of the challenge to energize learners. Our symposium brings together leading researchers examining emotions and engagement in students ranging from Grade 5 to college, in STEM content areas, and in response to technological advances such as online video lectures and computer-based testing. Various methodologies are employed (including quasi-experimental, diary studies, and behavioral log-files) and sophisticated analysis procedures are used (including multi-level modeling, latent class and growth mixture modeling). Collectively, the papers add significant contributions to our understanding of how to energize learners.
