Engagement is an essential aspect of learning. However, we all know from experience that engaging students is sometimes a tricky part of teaching. In this module, you discover what educational neuroscience can teach us about students’ engagement with learning.

that avoidance responses prevent us from learning
that if you want to increase your students’ engagement, you need to increase their activity
strategies you can try in your classroom to engage your students
