“Attention is a necessary prerequisite for learning.”
Suggestions for educators focusing and maintaining student attention are through signals, movement, variety, interest, and questions.
Signals let the student know the start of a lesson and when there is a change in activity.
Movement is good during the presentation of material.
Variety: Use a variety of materials and teaching aides.
Interest: Introduce lessons with interesting and stimulating material.
Question: Have students explain a point in their own words.
