EGYPTIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF THE EFFECT OF HENDY’S 4CS MODEL ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING ENGAGEMENT

Abstract

There are many learning theories that have come to explain how people think, process, learn, and apply knowledge. Among those theories are contextualism, connectivism, constructivism, and cognitivism. These four theories have been taken as references of the current proposed Hendy’s 4Cs (contextualizing, connecting, constructing, cognitivizing) model for teaching and learning. The model is like a mental journey that takes learner from exploration of ideas and concepts to meaningful learning and long-term memory. Based on importance of teachers’ opinions towards what can be used logically and really inside classrooms, the current study aimed at identifying middle school teachers’ perceptions of the effect of Hendy’s 4Cs model on students’ learning engagement. To investigate this main purpose, five sub-questions related to student intellectual, emotional, behavioral, social, and cognitive engagement were presented and interpreted through the study. A five section research scale (regarding the kinds of student engagement) was developed and controlled regarding validity and reliability. After administering the research tool to a random sample of middle school teachers, the research data were analyzed; and then some recommendations were presented based on study results
