Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the value of using classroom observations as part of a multi-methodological approach to understand what influences student engagement in classroom settings. This action research aimed to gain insights into what influences students to participate in the classroom and was conducted in an Irish vocational agricultural college as part of an initiative aimed to enhance classroom engagement. Classroom observations were used to examine how students interact in classroom settings by observing student’s behavioural engagement as the cognitive and affective domains of engagement are more difficult to observe. The findings were triangulated and validated with data from the teacher interviews, student focus groups, and a student survey. This paper details the multi-methodological approach taken, how classroom observations were developed and used, and the value they brought to evaluate what impacted student engagement within this context.

将课堂观察作为评估学生参与农业职业教育的多种方法的一部分的价值
摘要本文讨论了将课堂观察作为多种方法论方法的一部分来理解是什么影响了学生在课堂环境中的参与度的价值。这项行动研究旨在深入了解是什么影响了学生参与课堂,它是在爱尔兰一所农业职业学院进行的,是旨在提高课堂参与度的举措的一部分。课堂观察被用来通过观察学生的行为参与来检验学生在课堂环境中是如何互动的,因为参与的认知和情感领域更难观察。这些发现被三角化,并通过教师访谈、学生焦点小组和学生调查的数据进行了验证。本文详细介绍了所采取的多种方法,课堂观察是如何发展和使用的,以及它们在评估这种背景下对学生参与度的影响时所带来的价值。
