Abstract

Students’ engagement is considered to be an essential aspect of an active learning environment in online learning. It involves three main types of engagement: cognitive, social/emotional, and behavioral engagement. It was named before as the Head, Heart, and Hand model used in designing instructions for an online/blended learning approach to ensure the development of students’ competencies. Cognitive engagement involves the development of critical thinking and independent learning skills. Social/emotional engagement involves the development of communication, collaboration, and self-direction skills. Finally, behavioral engagement involves the development of creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills. This chapter presents a framework that involves different types of engagements that educators can use. The chapter also presents guidelines for educators to enhance students’ engagements in an online, blended, or e-learning approach to ensure an active learning environment.
