Abstract

Engaging learning environment may be considered as the support system that creates such conditions in which students learn best. It caters to the unique learning needs of every student and develops social relationship for effective learning. Engaging learning environment consists of those structures, tools and community that inspire the learners to gain knowledge, skills and positive attitude which are required in this modern era. The objectives of this paper are to search the different components of engaging learning environment. There are several components of engaging learning environment, such as physical environment that support in developing effective learning environment, sharing of best practices among the teachers that help in enrichment of knowledge and skill, project based learning, effective use of modern technologies like electronic and online learning, social learning like group, peer and team interaction, international involvement in learning, both face to face and online. Thus, it can be concluded that learning environment must take into account the context that promote interaction and enable formal and informal learning. While different components like physical and temporal structure, tools, community and policy for learning have great impact on developing engaging leaning environment, however, their cumulative impact is much more powerful. In fact, effective learning environment is developed when these components get integrated into a seamless whole in which each component reinforces each other.
