Task Engagement Across Disciplines: Research and Practical Strategies to Increase Student Achievement

Using an evidence-based model developed by Egbert and colleagues, editors Joy Egbert and Priya Panday-Shukla provide a comprehensive overview of task engagement for teachers and researchers. This book will help teacher education scholars, students, faculty, and instructors at all levels integrate task engagement into their practice.

Using an evidence-based model developed by Egbert and colleagues, editors Joy Egbert and Priya Panday-Shukla provide a comprehensive overview of task engagement for teachers and researchers. Research has positioned task engagement as central to student learning, and Egbert and Panday-Shukla now collate this research into a resource that teachers can utilize. The chapters address how task engagement theory, evidence, and instruction can be applied to increase learner achievement. The editors and contributors draw from backgrounds across science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) education and other disciplines to present task engagement and connect its importance to the success of today’s students. Chapters include background information, resources, exercises, and ideas for teachers and researchers to extend the research behind individual elements of the task engagement model into practice. Each chapter focuses on one component of the model and includes guiding questions and key points, a “how-to” section, and recommended tasks for K-adult classroom use. Though ideal for teacher education research scholars, students, and faculty, this book is useful for instructors at all levels interested in integrating task engagement principles into their practice.
