Pitt research paves way toward giving educators tools to recognize, correct disengagement among students
“Enhancing student engagement has been identified as the key to addressing problems of low achievement, high levels of student misbehavior, alienation, and high dropout rates.” – Pitt professor Ming-Te Wang
A student who shows up on time for school and listens respectfully in class might appear fully engaged to outside observers, including teachers.
But other measures of student engagement, including the student’s emotional and cognitive involvement with the course material, may tell a different story—one that could help teachers recognize students who are becoming less invested in their studies, according to a new study coauthored by a University of Pittsburgh researcher.
