Thediscussion section also includes the limitations and conclusion section discusses futuredirections.Literature Review Student engagement was first conceptualized in 1985 by Mosher and McGowan, and theyreported that “engagement” as a term was rarely mentioned in the existing literature [8]. Toaddress the gap, Mosher and McGowan [8] defined the conceptual framework of engagementand established its impact on students outcomes including achievement and behavior. Since theinception of the literature, engagement is characterized as a multidimensional construct. Someresearchers described engagement as a “meta construct” with an embedded

A deliberate use of problems to engage the students during the class period to determine which approach was more effective in communicating concepts to the students was used. WhatsApp groups and online evaluations to monitor understanding of the issues and formative assessment tools such as ungraded polls and graded weekly quizzes have helped faculty track student learning during the quarter Faculty did not indicate an overall change in philosophy of education; however
