The Current Status and Influencing Factors of Primary School Students' Engagement in Science Classes from the Perspective of Situated Learning——Nvivo Analysis Based on 9 Videos of Excellent Lessons at the Provincia and Ministerial Level
Students'engagement in science classes is an important prerequisite for them to understand sci-entific concepts,construct scientific experience,and carry out scientific practice.Based on the situated learning theory and the characteristics of the science discipline,this study generates an analytical frame-work for primary school students'engagement in science classes and uses a mixed method to analyze 9 primary school science class videos.The results showed that the types of student behavior engagement are diverse,and the phenomenon of collective silence deserves attention;the frequency of listening and pas-sive response was high,and the behavior of questioning was rarely shown;the frequency of understanding responses is the highest but the duration is short;creative responses and summarizing re-flective responses are obviously insufficient and appear later in the classroom;there are differences in the engagement of primary school students in science classes in different stages.Further analysis found that problems and interactive situations,teachers'questioning and answering strategies,and students'per-ceived cognitive responsibility are important factors affecting primary school students'engagement in sci-ence classes.Based on the above findings,teaching strategies to promote students'engagement in science classrooms were proposed.
