ENHANCING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS THROUGH THE 7CS FRAMEWORKAT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS: A CASE STUDY EXPLORATION FOR USE IN TERTIARY INSTITUTION

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of higher education, student-centered learning is increasingly recognized as essential for enhancing engagement, satisfaction, and academic success. This paper explores the implementation of the "7Cs" framework— Clarity, Challenge, Control, Care, Confer, Captivate, and Consolidate—at university Collaborative International School. By shifting the focus from traditional teacher evaluations to a model emphasizing students' perceptions of their learning experiences, we aim to improve teaching quality and educational outcomes. The paper discusses the successes and challenges encountered during the adoption of this framework, alongside future considerations for integrating student feedback into institutionalpractices. By prioritizing student voices in assessing teaching effectiveness, it is propose that tertiary institutions can foster a more responsive and dynamic learning environment that meets the needs of 21st-century learners.
