The Learning engagement theory espoused by Kearsley and Shneiderman (1998) is built on the premise that for students to be engaged with their learning, they must RELATE, CREATE and DONATE. By relate, they mean the students must relate to and authentic, real world problem or task that needs to be solved. Create means they create a solution to the problem and donate means the solution can be used in a real world setting to solve the problem.
In their article 'Engagement Theory: A framework for technology-based teaching and learning', they expand the RELATE component to include collaboration by learners with other learners as integral.
This framework is simply stated and plots a clear way forward for learners, providing motivation through the application of real world situations.
