This book analyses discourses of the use of engagement and motivation in schools globally. It focuses on the overall impact of engagement on teachers, students' motivation, students' well-being, and standards. It examines the role of engagement and motivation impacting teachers and students in the classroom, and the overall impact of inclusive classroom models to improve their performance in the classroom. The book analyses topics such as cultural identities and engagement, students' personalities and their impact on learning, the role of intelligence in learning, social learning, engagement in collaborative groups, and teachers' role in promoting engagement in the classroom.
The book contributes in a very scholarly way, to a more holistic understanding of the nexus between globalisation, dominant models of motivation, and students' engaging learning environments, and their academic achievement.

System requirements:
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling. This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
