PLAYful Practices: Students at Creekview High School Discuss Participatory Learning
Hamilton, Buffy
Knowledge Quest, v41 n1 p38-45 Sep-Oct 2012
Much of the literature about participatory learning in schools and libraries is dominated by adult voices. What do sites of participatory learning look like from the student perspective? What does it mean to student learners to develop and apply the four practices of participation--create, circulate, collaborate, and connect? How does participatory learning help students become intellectually and emotionally invested in their learning experiences? In this article, four students at Creekview High School--Bethany Roper, Jacob Morgan, Kristiena M. Shafer, and Jordan Grandt--share their insights to help educators better conceptualize the dynamics and impact of participatory learning on student engagement and growth as learners. (Contains 1 figure.)
