    Student engagement is important for effective learning and is defined as students' interest, interaction, and motivation to learn. One challenge of online learning is students feeling disconnected from classmates and instructors, which can negatively impact comprehension and retention. A proposed strategy called "Talk Moves" aims to increase participation, conversation, and collaboration by having students actively listen to and build on each other's ideas. Research shows that learner interaction and instructor presence positively influence student learning and satisfaction in online courses.

    Learning is best achieved when students are actively engaging themselves in

    the teaching-learning process. Just like lesson plans or professional learning or

    instructional models and frameworks, engagement is among the tools for

    educators that can push and make learning more effective and exciting for

    their students (Abla & Fraumeni, 2019). Student engagement is defined as the

    level of interest demonstrated by students, how they interact with others in the

    course, and their motivation to learn about the topics (Briggs, 2015). It is a

    condition of emotional, social, and intellectual readiness to learn characterized

    by curiosity, participation, and the drive to learn more (Abla & Fraumeni,

    2019).

    According to Gray and DiLoreto (2016), one of the challenges of online learning

    relates to students feeling disconnected to their classmates and instructor.

    Lack of student participation and engagement in a lecture or class would mean

    that the topic discussed might not be fully comprehended by the students

    hence a greater chance of forgetting knowledges easily. All teachers should be

    able to deepen their students' understanding of the subject area content (Gray

    & DiLoreto, 2016). When students are motivated to do well in their courses,

    involved or invested in their desire to learn, and willing to exert the effort

    expected by their instructors, they are more likely to be engaged in their

    education (Mandernach et al., 2011).

    A new intervention is proposed to combat students’ disengagement called Talk

    Moves. Talk Moves is a whole-class strategy that encourages participation,


    conversation, and collaboration. Facilitating a whole class conversation might

    be a little difficult as students are not always engage, this might be because

    they are shy, worried they might not be recognize or they are afraid to share

    their insights if for them it is a contradiction to the given answer. In

    establishing Talk Moves, Students are expected to listen to their classmate in

    order to respond. Hand signals are used if the student has something to share,

    agree upon, disagree, or even introduce relevant topic that could help the

    entire class grasp the depth of the topic. In talk moves, students will take turns

    in sharing their idea one after another, this may make the entire class engage

    in the learning process.

    Teachers need the expertise to develop a class structure that stimulates social

    interaction and affirms rigorous academic standards while fostering

    independent learning skills (Muirhead, 2004, p.50). The development of

    instructor presence and a sense of a learning community within online courses

    seem to have a reciprocal relationship in which one influences the progress of

    the other and vice-versa (Shea et al., 2006). By providing students with choices

    or some flexibility, students have a more personalized learning experience

    (Collis, 1998).

    In a study conducted by Gray and DiLoreto (2016), they have found that

    learner interaction does significantly impact student learning and instructor

    presence influence student satisfaction. They also found out that there is a

    positive relationship between learner interaction and perceived student


    learning. In another study, higher levels of interpersonal interaction were

    correlated with better performance in their online courses (Jeggars et al., 2013,

    p.1)

    Conventional teaching on the other hand, according to schoolnet.org

    is teacher-centered, teaching and lecture is the most common teaching

    behaviour found in schools worldwide. It focuses on the teacher’s sharing

    information to the class with learners who learn best by listening. Learners

    have access to limited information, selected by the school library or by the

    teacher themselves. The desire to achieve success academically, satisfy

    teachers, and reap rewards serves as an external motivator for learners.
