Its primary aim was to enhance and elevate the quality of participation during theoretical sessions, thereby fostering meaningful learning that contributes to the improvement of academic performance among the participants. To achieve this objective, a quasi-experimental case study was meticulously crafted. This research design was structured to not only stimulate and augment participation but also to cultivate meaningful learning, ultimately enhancing students’ academic achievements. The study employed a comprehensive approach to monitor participation, utilizing observation records to track engagement levels, and anecdotal records to delineate the progression of sessions and the quality of responses. Through meticulous analysis, it can be deduced that the integration of thinking routines as a pedagogical tool in expository sessions significantly enhances student engagement. These routines effectively activate students’ prior knowledge, establishing meaningful connections with the subject matter at hand. Moreover, the incorporation of thinking routines has been observed to elevate the quality of student participation. By fostering reflective practices, aiding in the formulation of inquiries, promoting collaborative learning, and nurturing critical thinking skills, these routines play a pivotal role in enriching the educational experience and bolstering academic performance. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.6 2024 0.876 2024 Applied Psychology 2024 Q2 Developmental and Educational Psychology 2024 Q2 Clinical Psychology 2024 Q2 5.1 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Murillo Ligorred, Víctor Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6829-1738 Lozano-Blasco, Raquel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0100-1449 4009 735 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
