Cultivating K12 Students’ Active Learning and Enhancing Engaged Learning Through Content Creation

Active learners can learn more effectively, have higher motivation to learn, and gain better results. How to cultivate learners’ active learning attitude and enhance their engagement in learning is the key. Through a 2-year study of two Chinese classes at a primary school in Panyu, China, we found that learning activity design was the core element in enhancing learners’ engagement in the participation of content creation and thus cultivating their active learning attitude to achieve better Chinese performance. This paper fills research gaps in both identifying the role of learning activity design in the process of cultivating learner’s active learning and extending content creation from a single step to a process of creation, evaluation and recognition.
