A STRATEGY FOR INCREASING STUDENTS’ TASK COMPLETION ENGAGEMENT
Abstract
This article analyzes the challenges students face in completing academic tasks and explores effective strategies to overcome these difficulties. The study examines students’ attitudes toward tasks, their motivation, and overall engagement. The proposed method focuses on intentionally leaving classroom tasks unfinished in order to foster students’ intrinsic interest and sense of responsibility.
The study was conducted with the participation of 20 students, and the results of the traditional homework method were compared with those of the newly proposed strategy. The findings demonstrate that the new method significantly improves both the rate and quality of task completion. The results confirm that this strategy can be effectively implemented in the educational process and contributes to increasing students’ learning engagement.
