- Monitor and draw conclusions about the effectiveness of these strategies.
Activity 2 (1,500 words)

- Please give two examples of how has work from the field of psychology been used within L&D, to help engage learners? (AC 2.1)
- Please give two examples of how work from the field of neuroscience has been, or could be, used within L&D, to help engage learners? (AC 2.2)
- What ethical factors do we need to consider when making use of psychology and neuroscience-based models, theories, tools or materials, to enhance learner engagement? (AC 2.3)
- Please give an example of how we can engage learners at each stage of the training cycle (e.g. in identifying their own needs; planning their own development; participating in learning activities; and contributing to evaluation)? Include 1 example for each stage. (AC 3.1)
- What strategies have you personally tried for enhancing learner engagement? Refer to Activity 1 for this. (AC 3.2)
- How did you monitor the effectiveness of these – and how effective were they? Refer to Activity 1 for this. (AC 3.3)
Answer:
According to Jha and Kumar (2016), the learning engagement is a strategy that include a process where the students are exposed to the learning process in their institutions. Their engagement is an indicator of the quality of the learning process in establishing if the students are engaging with their study and university learning community in approaches that are promoting high-quality learning processes.
The learner engagement is desirable as it guides on the best practice of effective management of the learning process and improving the levels of their participation in education sector (Carini et al., 2006). This is through ensuring that all learners are highly motivated and leverage on self-discipline for an effective management of the unstructured nature of learning………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Please contact us to receive a guidance on the entire assessment.
