Abstract
Increase in student engagement should be reflected in an increase in characteristics that induce academic attainments such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication (The 4Cs). These are the skills that are considered of significance in the 21st-century skills framework. This presentation shows that the proper use of the environment coupled with professional development supports such an increase in student engagement as reflected in an increase in the attributes previously mentioned. The observational protocol used to measure the use of the environment, the manifestations of the 4Cs, and the resulting student engagement are discussed.
