Undergraduate Business Students' Perceptions about Engagement
Haug, James C.; Berns Wright, Linda; Allen Huckabee, W.
Journal of Education for Business, v94 n2 p81-91 2019
Student perceived engagement and student perceived learning are important concepts in today's higher education classroom environment. Examining engagement from the students' perspective is an important aspect to understand more about this multidimensional construct as a tool for active learning. A survey was administered to undergraduate business students to gain insight into multiple factors influencing perceived engagement. Students felt that engagement was enhanced by discussion of current events, positive instructor demeanor, and putting effort into course content. The survey revealed four groups of variables: student connection, pedagogical methods, classroom environment, and student motivation. Multidimensionality of this construct was supported, as well as the need to understand engagement from the learners' perspective.
