The learning experience provided in my teammate’s work provides an explicit
ideology of Barkley's ideology of learning-centered teaching and Fink’s taxonomy. It also
presents Weimer’s ideology in formulating the three student engagement techniques. The
first learning experience proposes using teams to handle the assignment. The case
coincides with Barkley’s work, which concentrates on student engagement to make
meaning to the concepts they are studying in class (Barkley& Major, 2020). With the
concept, it means that the students get an opportunity to work effectively and enjoy the
learning sessions as they can take part in the learning process instead of just listening to
the tutor. Through this, they can learn from each other as they bring their ideologies
together. Assigning work to individual students and combining all the concepts makes the
learners think critically and do more research to enlighten themselves on the topic they
are reviewing. In this case, the task the learners were interchanged with severally makes
it easier for them to internalize and grasp the concepts they are handling. The concepts
coincide with Fink’s ideology of making learning an interactive session.
The first proposed student engagement model acts as a basis for coming up with the
second learning experience model, which emphasizes a collaborative structure as a way of
learning. In this case, the teammate used an interactive structure to formulate the learning
process. The concept is well portrayed in Fink’s work, which emphasizes using more practical
learning methods than theoretical ones (Fink, 2013). In this way, the learners can grasp the
concept and have the skills to solve problems. As a result, they would have the technique of
solving problems independently and ensuring that they do extensive research on the concepts
they are learning in class.

The first proposal also influences the third proposed work in laying a foundation for the
proposed model, significantly impacting how the task would be implemented through teamwork
and extensive research on the proposed topics. The illustration shows the essence of having good
communication in a team and working together to achieve the final goals.
Having looked at the teammate's student engagement models, it is evident that all of them
aim at having an interactive class that works together to make the learners enjoy the lesson and
grasp the concepts quickly. The strategies incorporated are using groups to accomplish a
particular task and ensuring that the students get enlightened on the critical aspects of the course.
By categorizing the learners into groups, they learn from each other and help them do more
research. The teammate also extensively presents learning techniques such as reading and
writing, discussing, and modeling, which play a more significant role in understanding the
concepts.
However, the proposed student engagement techniques should involve researching the
concepts before presenting a practical review (Weimer, 2013). This case comes by as an essential
way of having the ability to internalize the concepts, thus making it easier to understand the topic
being taught. In this case, it helps in the grasp of the j=knowledge as well as presenting it
correctly.
In conclusion, the teammate work used the ideologies of Fink, Weimer, and Barkley, thus
helping the learners to understand what is taught. Similarly, the use of teams helps to ensure that
there is a collaborative interaction while learning. The aspects, however, require more research
on the concepts so as to apply the concepts correctly, and the lesson is enjoyable.
