| Abstract: | This study investigates the alignment between teachers' intentions and students' experiences, focusing on student engagement and effective instructional strategies at a Dutch secondary school in Twente. The research specifically targets challenges related to student engagement possibly affecting completion rates within the 4 Havo program. Quantitative data are collected through questionnaires administered through the TIIM app. Questions in the questionnaire are based on the constructs of the Impact! Tool to assess both students' and teachers' perspectives on instructional quality and engagement. Results indicate generally positive perceptions of learning experiences among students, with variations observed across different subjects. Despite teachers' intentions, there is a lack of significant correlation between teachers' and students' perceptions, suggesting a misalignment. This misalignment underscores the need for improvements in instructional practices and classroom dynamics to better meet students' needs and expectations. Recommendations for future research include investigating specific instructional interventions aimed at bridging this gap and enhancing overall learning outcomes. |
