Using activities designed to help capture student attention!
Research consistently shows that the more time students spend involved in learning activities, the more they learn. That is, there is a strong positive relationship between the amount of time students are actively engaged in learning activities and their achievement. Further, increased time spent in academic learning does not result in negative attitudes toward school or learning.
Learning Time
In order for students to engage in learning activities, teachers must distibute learning time. Learning time in the school day has been divided into four categories: (a) scheduled time - the amount of time the teacher plans to spend on various subjects; (b) allocated time - the amount of time actually devoted to the learning activities; (c) academic engaged time - the time students are actually on-task in a learning activity (e.g, taking notes, listening to teacher, solving a problem); and (d) active academic responding time - the time a student spends making responses that are active and observable (e.g., discussing tasks).
