Student engagement and learning using an Integrated Student-Lecturer Engagement Design Framework

In different forms of educational learning, student engagement was very important. Many research papers had focused on one teaching method to increase learning and the lecturer tasks were not grouped. This paper presents a framework, Integrated Student-Lecturer Engagement Design Framework (ISLEDF) that uses many in and outside classroom student engagement activities and teaching techniques to promote learning and create applicable knowledge. ISLEDF allows the flexibility to implement the engagement activities. In ISLEDF, the lecturer and students roles are defined and clustered. For this model to show very good results, the lecturer is required to be actively and positively engaged too. In general, the lecturer must also understand the characteristics and wants of students today. ISLEDF was successfully implemented in Java Computing module. After using ISLEDF, strong evidences from student coursework showed that the students were actively engaged in the module. The survey results, student exercise solutions and final examination results indicated that the students had generally learnt from this module. ISLEDF can be used to teach any module with adjustments if necessary.
