SAMPLE:
The level of student engagement in a classroom can make or break the educational experience of both the student and the teacher in a given academic setting. It can determine things like classroom atmosphere, level of control on the part of the educator, and the amount of information students retain. According to Galloway and Bute (2019), when students are engaged in the learning process, they are more likely to have an interest in the subject matter and experience heightened attention and concentration. When educators are able to engage students to the point of creating interest in the content, the classroom dynamic is likely to be more enjoyable for both student and teacher because both parties are better able to participate in academic exploration. Galloway and Bute also argued that engagement "intensifies a student's attention, making it easier for them to remember what they learned" (p. 126). If students are engaged enough to value the information they learn in the classroom, they are in turn more likely to retain the skills they acquire. Engagement in the classroom thus influences the amount of learning retention that occurs in the classroom.
