NOTES ON THE JOURNAL: Engagement = Attainment; Students engagements is a psychological process of attention, interest, investment and effort in learning, 3 types of engagment (1. Behavioural, 2. Emotional, 3. Cognitive), Debate on the definition of engagement and it’s accuracy, student engagement could be related to absenteesim and retention, teachers see a lack of goals and clear ideals as a reasons for poor engagement, students feel their engagment is misunderstood as it’s not directed in the area wanted by teachers which in turn sees a negative effect on retention, student satisfaction and performance. NEED FOR MORE RESEARCH INTO THE PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT. The recognition and combining of school ideas/goals with that of work and the student can increase retention and academic completion.
