CCAF Challenge is the second component of the CCAF Model. It is an invitation to the learner to compete, decide, or take part — set within the context — that activates thinking, creates a sense of stake, and motivates the activity that follows.
Why it matters#
Attention is highest when something is at stake. Challenge creates that stake. When learners feel they might get something wrong — or that getting it right matters — they think more carefully, consider more options, and engage more deeply with the content. Without challenge, learners passively receive information. With it, they actively work with it.
