I am doing a research paper on what educators can do to get children to really think and be actively involved in a lesson. Do you know of teaching techniques, books, articles?? Thanks.

First, look for resources on Inquiry Based Learning. I've linked to some available books on Amazon, but you can also find them in the nearest university library. IBL can be used by students at any age, in any class- it's not just for Science or Humanities. The entire theory of IBL is that learning happens when students formulate and investigate their own questions.
Then, search for individual books and journal articles dealing with "student engagement". The Education Library at my school has six books with "student engagement" in the title. Academic Search Premier (journal database) has 276 FULL-TEXT journal articles dealing with student engagement, available online.

I have tort in factories, Business and run a music school.
I found that a good formula is to remember that they can only concentrate for 10 or so minutes at any one time.
Therefore work with them in 10 minutes before moving on to letting them read it back to you. Ask fore their input into their leaning.
Ask them what they would like to learn about and give that 10 minutes. always let them leave wanting more tell them you will give it to them the next time.
Do not try to sham them, they will pick it up and your teaching is over.
I never had a failure.
