DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Grace Djan (SAIP\,    North West University\, SAASTE
 \, STERS)\nThe standard of engagement in science classes is fundamental fo
 r effective learning. Creating an active learning environment is essential
  for engaging learners. However\, implementing engagement is one of the mo
 st important problems facing teachers. Furthermore\, there are different e
 ngagement strategies and teachers often do not know what strategy to use\,
  or only use one of them. This paper attends to the factors that could inf
 luence the choice of an appropriate engagement strategy.  \n\nIn a researc
 h study we set out to explore music\, context-based inquiry\, and computer
  simulation as engagement strategies as well as the impact of these strate
 gies on the four components (behavioural\, emotional\, cognitive\, and aut
 hentic) of engagement. The application of mixed methods comprised of a pre
 -test and post-test questionnaire (quantitative)\, video recording and sem
 i-structural interviews (qualitative). The general results that follow fro
 m this research is that the choice of an appropriate engagement strategy d
 oes not only depend on the topic to be taught\, but also on other factors 
 namely  teachers' acquaintance with the strategy\, the learning environmen
 t\, the background of the learners\, the engagement components that need a
 ttention as well as the amount of time available. A combination of the thr
 ee engagement strategies has proven to enhance engagement.\n\nhttps://even
