Example-engagement-motivation (E2M): Designing an early literacy learning model for elementary school

Abstract

This study aims to design a model that is really needed by teachers in schools by taking four major steps. First, through the latest theoretical studies, we identified at least six models specifically developed by experts for the purpose of facilitating elementary school children in learning literacy. Second, those six models are then contrasted to see which main components are included in each model studied. Third, from the steps of comparing and contrasting of these learning models, a small number of mandatory components will be determined which basically represent three things: the role of the teacher, the task of the child, the support provided by the teacher. Fourth, the researchers made a prototype of a literacy learning model that is potentially suitable for elementary school students in early grades. This research is design-based research. The result of this research - in the form of the acronym of E2M - will be provide wide space for teachers of elementary schools to facilitate children's literacy development and fulfill children's needs for their literacy learning.
