    Year 11 Abstract to the ACEC conference in April 2010

    The engagement of students in learning using ICT, was determined during observations of year 11 students. The observations occurred in four consecutive lessons on modern history over four weeks in year 2009, in Australia.

    The aspects of engagement that were measured included behavioural (adhering to rules and following directions); emotional (enthusiasm and/or excitement), and; cognitive (self-directed undertaking of activities). These were measures on a scale of 5 ranging from never to always.

    While there is a need for further investigations to be able to deploy these findings for use, data reveals that students become more engaged and interested in learning as they use ICT to research, edit and publish their work in a Wiki. The Internet provided resourceful information for students’ research and the Wiki provided a vehicle for creativity and application of their technical skills. There is potential for the Wiki providing access to a wider audience, development and sharing of ideas as well as opportunities for per assessment. The Wiki will be used to asses student’s work.

    The challenges include the development of measurements of engagement and motivation, as well as recording the observations without affecting the lesson progression.
