Engaging Pedagogical Strategies for Students in Teaching Sessions: A Suggestive Framework Blueprint

Abstract

This study aims at understanding main reasons of disengagement in teaching session from students’ perspective. It further examines what pedagogical methods and preparations can contribute to higher student engagement in teaching session both from teachers’ and students’ perspectives. The study was conducted through interpretative phenomenological analysis to identify and analyze the experiences of the respondents. Primary data was obtained via semistructured interviews of participants from Delhi NCR, India. The results are reflected in the form of superordinate themes that emerged through analyzing the responses of participants. Based on exploratory details, some of the themes related to students’ disengagement were identified as insufficient interpersonal communication, lack of real-time application, dearth of empathy and dubious personal behaviour of teacher. The findings also define the Action Plan for teachers for enhancing student engagement in teaching session.
