Literature Review
Purpose: Can active learning strategies increase student engagement and overall achievement
in my ICT classes as NIPA?
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Factors that affect student engagement.
Strategies used: Active learning, problem based learning. (Waschke, 2015)
 Active Learning
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Theory: Constructivist Theory, Experiential Learning Theory, Social Constructivist, Vygotsky’s
Zone of Proximal Development
Description: A major theme in the constructivist theoretical framework of Bruner is that
learning is an active process in which learners construct new ideas or concepts based upon
their current/past knowledge.
Application:
STRATEGIES FOR COLLECTING DATA
Baseline Data: School Records (Attendance), Grade Results, School Dropouts (Observation,
Surveys) Artifacts: Memos, Reports, Records, and Test Results
Observations: Field Notes (Lack of Attention, Focus) Attitude, Checklist, Photos
Inquiry: Pre Questionnaire/Survey: Interview
Keep a research diary/journal, share experience of the intervention process. (Chap 5)
