In recent years, there are many strategies used by teachers at school. One of these strategies is POEW. POEW strategy is developed by combining of Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) and Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy.

However, previous studies regarding the implementation of POEW have not dealt with students’ engagement. Students’ engagement is important because it will support students during learning to take place well. Students’ engagement is an act of students including behavior, emotional, and cognitive activities carried out by students in academic activities at school.
