Student engagement initiatives at the national, institutional and classroom level have emerged against a backdrop of rising participation rates and the marketisation of higher education. This context has informed the development of a literature that is heavily influenced by cause-effect framing and a focus on effectiveness. However, in recent years an alternative, critical literature has emerged that challenges some of the assumptions of the student engagement movement on the grounds of student rights and freedoms as learners. This review article identifies the following six critiques of student engagement based on an analysis of the literature and arguments stemming from analyses of the effects of neoliberalism, namely performativity, marketing , infantilisation , surveillance , gamification and opposition . It is concluded that at a policy and institutional governance level, there is a need to shift the emphasis from what and how questions concerning student engagement to consider its broader political, economic and ethical implications as a means of challenging the prevailing policy narrative.

Student engagement literature review.

This is a review of the international literature around student engagement

This review suggests three dimensions in the student engagement literature: individual learning structures and processes and engagement and identity. It brings together literature on what engagement is for who engagement is for and critical success factors for engagement. It highlights the large amounts of evidence on the benefits of student engagement for individual learning and also the surprising lack of literature on student representation and feedback.

Öz Yükseköğretimde etkin katılım, son yıllarda dikkat çeken bir kavram hâline gelmiştir. Öğrenciler, akademik, sosyal ve kültürel faaliyetlere etkin katılım göstererek akademik/ mesleki/ sosyal yaşamları için gerekli pek çok niteliği kazanabilir. Öğrencilere etkin katılım göstermelerini sağlayacak olanaklar sunmak, çabalarını desteklemek ve onları bu konuda yönlendirmek üniversitelerin görevleri arasındadır. Bu görevlerin yerine getirilebilmesi için öncelikle mevcut durumun belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, üniversite öğrencilerin akademik, sosyal, kültürel faaliyetlere etkin katılım düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın modeli taramadır ve nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunu, 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında Ankara'daki bir devlet üniversitenin eğitim fakültesinin farklı bölümlerine devam eden 451 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Akademik, Sosyal ve Kültürel Faaliyetlere Etkin Katılımı Anketi (ÜÖ-ASKFEKA) kullanılmıştır. Veriler, temel betimsel istatistik teknikleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin akademik faaliyetlere katılım düzeyinin orta; sosyal ve kültürel faaliyetlere katılım düzeyinin ise düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin dersin öğretim elemanlarıyla ders dışında yeterli iletişim kuramadıkları, ancak birbirleriyle sürekli iletişim hâlinde oldukları; ders içi faaliyetlerin kendilerini zorlamadığı ancak sınavlarda zorlandıkları gibi sonuçlara da ulaşılmıştır. Öğrencilerin etkin katılım düzeylerini yükseltmek amacıyla öğretim programları, öğrenenlerin aktif öğrenmesini sağlayacak şekilde geliştirilip uygulanmalı, ücretsiz sosyal ve kültürel faaliyetler düzenlenmeli ve öğrenciler etkin katılım göstermeleri konusunda desteklenmelidir. Abstract Student engagement at higher education has become a noteworthy concept recently. Students gain various qualifications for their academic, professional and social lives engaging actively in academic, social/ cultural activities. It is among the duties of universities to provide opportunities for students to engage, direct them and support their efforts.

Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Liz Chinlund

This study comprised an investigation of the longitudinal achievement of New Zealand first-year undergraduate students (n=967) who transitioned to their degrees through the Certificate of University Preparation (CUP) programme at Victoria University of Wellington between 2008 and 2012 and the role of preparation and engagement on their achievement. Certain student behaviours, development of study skills, importance of academic challenge, and emphasis on academic support were all correlated with later university achievement. Although engagement is a highly acclaimed concept, its links to achievement were unsubstantiated. Using linear regressions, students' academic perseverance and their achievement in CUP each uniquely predicted first-year university degree programme achievement. CUP students' university achievement was higher than mainstream students with similar secondary school achievement, based on a statistical model of achievement that accounted for the relative difficulty of achieving each result. These findings indicate that the CUP programme was effective in preparing learners to access and achieve in university.

This chapter traces the development of student engagement as a research-informed intervention to shift the discourse on quality in higher education to emphasize matters of teaching and learning while providing colleges and universities with diagnostic, actionable information that can inform improvement efforts. The conceptual lineage of student engagement blends a set of related theoretical propositions (quality of effort, involvement, and integration) with practice-focused prescriptions for good practice in undergraduate education. The development of survey-based approaches to measuring student engagement is reviewed, including a treatment of recent criticisms of these approaches. Next, we summarize important empirical findings, including validation research, typological research, and research on institutional improvement. Because student engagement emerged as an intervention to inform educational improvement, we also present examples of how engagement data are being used at colleges and universities. The chapter concludes with a discussion of challenges and opportunities going forward.

Postsecondary institutions have increasingly attempted to discover innovative methods to promote student engagement and persistence, thus combating student attrition. In recent years, the higher education landscape has been flooded with intervention strategies sourced in early alert systems that utilize technological components to encourage student connections to institutional support entities. Whether homegrown or commercially developed, early alert systems provide cost-effective means of bolstering student persistence while depleting limited financial resources. While early alert systems have the potential to be a useful and cost-effective tactic to provide students with platforms for connections to faculty, academic advisors, and support resources, their development and implementation provides challenges. This study was based on Tinto's student development and Astin's student engagement theories. The purpose of this study was to uncover and analyze student perceptions of early alert system usage as a retention tool, an area of research lacking depth. The entire undergraduate student enrollment (N = 21,437) during the fall 2014 academic semester at East Carolina University was invited to complete an on-line survey requesting student opinions of campus utilization of the Starfish™ early alert system. A total of 4,658 student responses were collected. A series of statistical tests were used to assess differences in student perceptions of early alert system usage. General student opinions of early alert system structure and differences within student population groups and demographics were also discovered through data examination. Additionally, results of the analysis showed statistical significance indicating that early alert systems serve as conduits between students and the institution, impacting their

The philanthropy of blended educational institutions robust the socio-economic conditions of human society. Blended learning defines alternative frameworks of educational arrangements between the student and teacher, which provide a guide and justification for advanced technology in educational contexts. Thus, our paper focuses on emerging notion of student?s learning at the higher level of education. The results from 287 students, and the identification by immersed experts of the criteria that were present in each of six teaching methods, made it possible to calculate a weighted score of engagement contribution for each teaching method. This approach found that from amongst the particular range of teaching methods the case study and project reports was the most engaging, followed by a team-based learning method. These results give teachers, a practical method for assessing and identifying teaching methods for student engagement for their particular profile.

The aim of the study was to investigate the extent of engagement, inclusion and influence of engagement on inclusion of Students with Disabilities (SWDs) in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Convergent Parallel Mixed research design was employed though only quantitative data presentation, interpretation and discussion was considered in this paper. Student Engagement Scale (SES) and College Student Experience Questionnaire (CSEQ) were used to collect data. Reliability and validity of the instruments was scrutinized properly. For example, pilot study of the instruments was undertaken involving 30 SWDs who were attending their education at Mekelle University. Target population were 773 SWDs from 5 HEIs in the country, yet through Taro (1967) stratified proportionate random sampling technique (deaf, blind and physical impairment strata) 264 SWDs were determined to be sample populations. The data collected by the two questionnaire were analyzed by using one-sample t-test and multiple stepwise regression. Results indicated that SWDs were engaged highly in their sense of valuing (psychological engagement I) and cognitive engagements. However, they have lower sense of belonging, lower relationships with faculty members, peers and behavioral engagements. On the contrary, SWDs were found to be included and this inclusion was influenced by SWDs’ engagement. Recommendation was therefore, training about engagement need to be delivered to SWDs at various levels of education before entering to HEIs.

Aggregated across all 57 participating institutions and across all 34 measured policy scales, institutions in the five-state LIPSS pilot study have done approximately one-half of what they could be doing to align their policies with the available research on first-year student success. This singular point of reference, although informative, masks considerable variability in the extent to which specific policies have been adopted. For example, all 57 participating institutions had some form of “early alert” system in place, most of which include systematic efforts to identify students experiencing both academic and personal difficulty. Likewise, every institution offers a formal orientation program for first-year students; the vast majority of schools require all of their first-year students to attend an orientation session. In contrast, few participating institutions provide differentiated orientation programs based on student characteristics (e.g., honors students, student-athletes, students with disabilities). Notwithstanding these relatively clear findings related to early alert systems and new-student orientation, the results from this pilot study paint a complex picture of institutional policy alignment with available research on first-year student success. Coordination of the first year of college: Although many institutions have developed division-wide or institution-wide mechanisms to coordinate the first-year experience, the composition and/or reporting lines of this coordinating structure (e.g., committee, office, individual) may not be maximizing the potential for high-level, cross-divisional collaboration. Faculty engagement with first-year students: Although most schools offer first-year seminars and have early alert systems that promote course-related interaction between faculty members and students, policies supporting or encouraging student-faculty interaction outside of the classroom are less common. Policies requiring or systematically rewarding faculty members for such engagement are particularly uncommon. Information dissemination: Institutions appear quick to share relevant information with key stakeholders (i.e., students, parents, guidance counselors), often front-loading information before students even attend their first class. But fewer than half of the surveyed institutions reiterate those early messages to students after classes have begun. Assessment: Most participating institutions have engaged in formal and wide-spread data collection activities related to institutional research, program assessment, and course evaluations. Far less common, however, is the use of such data for instructional development, academic planning, and resource allocation.
