And after COVID-19 disruptions that meant years of Zoom teaching, many professors say things are harder now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/research\/guides\/attention-please-professors-battle-student-disengagement\">three-episode podcast series<\/a> explores this rise in student disengagement \u2014 and what creative professors are doing to counteract it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of the reporting was done from the back of large lecture rooms at one large public college \u2014 Texas State University. A group of professors invited us to observe their classes, and we talked to them and their students about what teaching is like these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stakes are huge, because the concern is that maybe the social contract between students and professors is kind of breaking down. Do students believe that all this college lecturing is worth hearing? Or, will this moment force a change in the way college teaching is done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>IMPACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;Stanford University&#8217;s Center for Teaching and Learning held a public discussion around an episode in our podcast series called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/events.stanford.edu\/event\/considering_student_disengagement_in_our_classes\">Considering Student (Dis)Engagement in Our Classes.<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The episode in the series &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2023-01-10-how-instructors-are-adapting-to-a-rise-in-student-disengagement\">How Instructors Are Adapting to a Rise in Student Disengagement<\/a>&#8221; won <a href=\"https:\/\/asbpe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-National-Azbee-Awards-Winners-List.pdf\">first place nationally<\/a> in the American Society of Business Publication Editors awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping the attention of students during lectures has always been hard.
