Researching And Developing Engaging Pedagogies
Description of MeE framework
MeE is the framework that helps teachers to develop an action plan to improve
teaching and learning practice. Using this framework, teachers can understand the existing
relationship between students and the concerned education system. Classroom behavior
management is a difficult pedagogic issue that must be solved by a teacher by using Mee
framework. As mentioned by Korpershoek, Harms, de Boer, Hvan Kuijk, M., & Doolaard
(2016), this framework has been designed based on two different dimensions including
psychological dimension and sociological dimension. This framework postulates that
discourses, pedagogies and meaningful connections are directly connected with behavioral
and cognitive lives of students. McKim, Sorensen, Velez & Henderson (2017) have added
that this interconnection between psychological and social foundations indicates about the
expectations students from their school. This framework has been developed to address the
tension between psychological and sociological needs of students. It can be stated that
teachers can engage all students in the learning process with the help of this framework. If
teachers must engage students in the classroom by refining and recognizing their pedagogical
practices.
This framework can be used to develop an action plan for improving classroom
behavior of students. Some of the students do not pay attention to the class and talk among
each other. Focusing on negative reinforcement cannot help in this kind of situations. As per
the MeE framework, the teacher needs to understand the reason behind the lack of attention
in students. As stated by Michel (2018), "E" of this framework refers to engagement, where
students value the school. On the other hand, "e" refers to rational level engagement, where
students become engaged in pedagogic relationships. "M" refers to the motivation that helps
students to have adaptive thinking and adaptive behavior. This framework has the potential to

play a dual role including an evaluative device and a guide to developing a plane to enhance
engagement of students. It suggests considering positive thoughts in terms of motivation and
both kinds of engagement. For example, wearing students and detaining them cannot help in
increasing their engagement. A teacher needs to include positive thought to engage students
in the learning process. It can include interesting classroom activities and giving points on
those activities to each student.
Critical summary of philosophy and practices of student
I think it is the duty of educators to engage students through necessary tools and
practices that can motivate them to acquire knowledge properly. Shaping them in the
classroom through different approaches can help students to get engaged in the system of
study properly. As opined by Fletcher (2016), educational outcomes can be achieved through
influencing students by employing a range of practices. For example, for improving behavior
of students effective reinforcements can be applied that includes verbal warnings, writing
names on board and others. Moreover, different strategies can be taken to motivate the
students in engaging in the class. For example, creation of chart with points, which will
measure learning behavior of each student. This is a positive reinforcement that can help to
engage students in the learning process. Moreover, Parker, Rose & Gilbert (2016) stated that
effective teaching can influence the level of engagement of student that can be achieved
through employing a range of practices and different resources. I believe that effective
education can be provided to students through imparting knowledge and increasing tier
engagement level in learning process. My personal teaching style includes imparting
knowledge, providing reward and feedbacks, conducting student engagement activities and
extrinsic motivation of students. Hence, I follow behaviorist model that helps to improve
learning behavior of students. As opined by Gilboy, Heinerichs & Pazzaglia (2015), there are
