Learners who are not actively engaged in learning during instruction can interfere with learning in the environment and climate. Learners must become actively involved and must not lapse into the role of passive spectators. Faculty may inadvertently support distraction or interruption by allowing a shift or loss of focus on the learning or topic. Often this happens because of a poor professional example by the teacher, lack of prevention skills, ineffective reaction to interference as it occurs during instruction, or poor time-management skills.
If there is an isolated individual not engaged, there can be numerous reasons, including: choice, distracted by a personal matter, or even a disability such as poor hearing. The teacher will need to determine how to reengage the individual. This applies especially to self-directed learning when you find yourself not engaged and actively applying the pillars of learning. Take corrective action to reverse your own lack of engagement in learning.
