Transforming student engagement in COVID-19 remote instruction: a research perspective

This paper was developed in response to the article titled, A design framework for enhancing engagement in student-centered learning: Own it, learn it, share it, by Eunbae Lee and Michael J. Hannafin (2016). Their work is examined through a research perspective. The authors' discovery of the lack of a comprehensive framework to guide the design, development, and implementation of student-centered learning prompted them to develop the model. The result advances a three-stage model known as, Own It, Learn It, and Share It. The impact of the model can be understood through the simplicity of the OLSit model by how it affords educators a clear pathway for transforming instructional planning. Given the many uncertainties associated with the shift to digital as a result of COVID-19, the OLSit model is very applicable for action research by teachers, student teachers, and teacher educators. A critique of the model is provided along with suggested applications to extend the OLSit research base.

Automated summary

This paper analyzes the work of Lee and Hannafin, who developed a three-stage model "Own It, Learn It, and Share It" to guide student-centered learning design. The OLSit model, with its simplicity, provides educators a clear pathway for transforming instructional planning, which is particularly important in the shift to digital education.
