This is a revised figure of Moje's (2015) 4E's heuristic figure that explores how "engage" is achieved through the disciplinary cycle. This figure includes examples of how each aspect of the disciplinary cycle can be used to support ICS students' disciplinary literacy.

... question two, we wanted to explore how the 4Es heuristic could be used to redesign the ICS curriculum and teaching methods to better align with the more comprehensive use of the resources named in the FRM. We used the 4Es heuristic to support the reimagining of the ICS course in the following manner: During the first week of the course learners, are engaged in the "everyday practices" of the discipline (Figure 2). This begins by contextualizing the work for the week within a problem or overarching question. ...

... focus in week one and throughout the course is on developing the meta-strategies that will elicit the thinking necessary for success in this course, and computer science work in the future. Within the course redesign, we acknowledge that students are typically in their first or second semester of college and require more support and scaffolding as they engage with the disciplinary practices (Figure 2). The practice of examining is nurtured within the learning experience as terms such as computers and science are called into question. ...
