Student engagement by using Technology and Literacy practices for students

from low SES communities

Research regarding the engagement of students is something necessary to make sure

children are continuously learning. In the research article “Enabling exemplary teaching:

a framework of student engagement for students from low socio-economic backgrounds

with implications for technology and literacy practices” (Carlow & Orlando, 2015) talk

about the issue of student engagement, in particular, students who come from low SES

backgrounds. Callow and Orland (2015) state that students should have the right to be

successful in their education whilst improving teachers pedagogies from using the Fair

Go Project (FGP) alongside the methodology and student engagement (MeE)

Framework. The three key characterisations that the framework is made up of includes

high cognitive, high affective and high operative, which are controlled to make a positive

impact in the classroom by engaging students from low SES backgrounds (Munns,

2007). A critical summary will be shown, the existing lesson plan for a music class will

also be described, along with additions from the FGP and the justification of implications

on teaching practice.
