Abstract
Student engagement remains a central concern in science education. Across decades of research, educational scholars have proposed various frameworks to enhance learners’ interest, motivation, and deep understanding. This paper reviews major contributions from ten influential researchers and synthesizes key principles for designing engaging science learning environments. The analysis shows that effective science education emphasizes active participation, inquiry, cognitive challenge, social interaction, and meaningful application. These findings support a broader view of learning as a transformative process rather than mere knowledge acquisition.
