Such routines, which are usually used again and again in the classroom, promote thinking skills, call for collaboration and sharing of ideas, make thinking and learning visible, and above all, promote student engagement. Visual thinking routines were implemented in the graduate course, \"EDEL606, Elementary Science and Mathematics Methods\" at the American University in Dubai. The aim of this qualitative study was to examine student teachers’ attitudes towards visual thinking routines. The use of such visual thinking routines in the teaching methodology course helped student teachers acquire hands-on experience on the usage of visual thinking routines, and hence, transformed the learning acquired to their classroom. At the end of the course, 5 students, enrolled in EDEL606, answered a simple question: \"What did you like most about visual thinking routines?\" The results showed that student teachers relished and appreciated the use of visual thinking routines in the course and the manner in which such routines allowed for organization, variety, thinking, and student engagement. As with all original, new, and unique resources, visual thinking routines are not free of challenges. To make the most of this useful and valued resource, educators, need to comprehend, model and spread an awareness of the effective ways of using such routines in the classroom. It is crucial that such routines are meaningfully and effectively integrated into the curriculum in order to reinforce student engagement and make sure students are actively involved in the learning process.  \nKeywords: student engagement, thinking skills, visual thinking routines, 21st century education.  \nIntroduction  \nLet us take a minute to reflect on the concept of \"human history\" . What happened in the past? What is happening at the moment? What is going to happen in the future? Well, we can all agree, to a certain extent, that at different and distinctive periods of human history, individuals have encountered exclusive sets of challenges, trials, tests, and dilemmas that have forced them to change the way they think and the way they interact with one another and the world around them. We, teachers and educators, are among these individuals. Not only us, teachers and educators, but also our students are among these individuals. We need to pause for a while and think about our students. What is it that we exactly want from them? Do we want them to gain knowledge? Or do we want them to be well equipped with factual information? Or do we want them to read, write, add, and subtract? Or do we want them to have a repertoire of  \n􀀍Assistant Professor, American University in Dubai, UAE.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.5-2-4](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.5-2-4) doi=10.30958/aje.5-2-4  \nimportant skills that will prepare and help them encounter the challenges ofthe present and future? In order for our students to face all the obstacles of today and tomorrow, we, teachers and educators, need to be able to equip them with the necessary tools that are at our own disposal. Hence, we need to make sure our lessons are highly engaging, motivating, and creative. We need to make sure our classrooms embrace a culture that includes the following chief factors: observing, asking questions and wondering, experimenting, thinking, constructing, communicating, reflecting, and connecting to real life. In summary, we need to make sure our students are actively engaged in the learning journey and are constructing their own knowledge.  \nOne of the most essential components of 21st Century Education is student engagement. Marzano et al. (2013) argued that engagement is not an easily defined construct. According to the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE, n.d.), student engagement represents two critical features of collegiate","cbCaikTt1eb2nx3t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikTt1eb2nx3t","pdf",505484,11,"English","# Introduction\n## 21st Century Education and student engagement\n## Visual thinking routines as tools for engagement","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of using visual thinking routines in the classroom?\",\"answer\":\"Visual thinking routines promote thinking skills, collaboration, idea sharing, and make thinking and learning visible, ultimately encouraging student engagement.\"},{\"question\":\"Where was the qualitative study conducted, and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"The study was implemented in the graduate course “EDEL606, Elementary Science and Mathematics Methods” at the American University in Dubai, and five enrolled students participated by answering a course-related question.\"},{\"question\":\"What were student teachers’ responses to visual thinking routines?\",\"answer\":\"They relished and appreciated how the routines supported organization and variety, fostered thinking, and enhanced student engagement during the course.\"}]","Student Engagement through Visual Thinking Routines - Student engagement study in classroom | PDF",1792075005,28]
