3C: Engaging Students in Learning
This component focuses on getting students involved in learning by using learning activities. As a teacher, keeping the students eager to learn is very important. There are many tools that can help engage learners, allowing them to learn a lot, being interactive and participating in the lesson. If students are not engaged, they will not learn well; they like episodic learning.
It is important because the teacher needs to be able to present information in a way the students can learn and want to learn more about the topic. A teacher can use scaffolds to help various students participate and understand. Structured lessons are also helpful, reaching out to all students so they can all understand.
