Enhancing Student Engagement Using Instructional Practices in Learning By Scientific Design Principles
Friday June 6, 2025 1:45pm - 2:45pm CDT
In this case study, the post-doctoral fellow collaborated with a K-5 Urban school to investigate the impact of instructional practices on student engagement. Due to consistent student behavior, the school generated the problem of practice that focused on developing the school-wide classroom management plan and social-emotional learning curriculum for students so that students can regulate their emotions effectively and teachers can deliver engaging lessons by building a conducive learning environment. The fellow partnered with the school leadership team to develop an instructional cycle that consisted of observing and providing feedback to the teachers on their goals set up using the Learning By Scientific Design Principles. In this instructional cycle, the teachers watch their GoReact videos and select the goals for themselves using teacher actions from Learning by Scientific Design Principles. The instructional coach and the post-doctoral fellow observed the teacher using the two observational rubrics that measured the teacher's instructional practices and student engagement. The feedback shared with the teachers was based on the implementation of those practices and the number of students engaged in the classroom with a focus on planning and preparing rigorous and challenging lesson plans that are aimed at improving student engagement and, thereby, increasing student outcomes. The student outcome was assessed by the exit card data for each lesson and the student engagement rubric, which played a crucial role in developing and enhancing different instructional practices as per the academic needs of the students.
