Background: This study breaks new ground by presenting a new, more sophisticated model of learning engagement that goes beyond the current state of the art embodied in the widely used Affective-Behavioral-Cognitive (ABC) model. This work synthesizes and builds upon neglected lines of research in the structure of affective engagement. It also…

L2 learner engagement is an emerging but critical construct in the field of psychology of language learning and teaching. However, research on L2 learner engagement has suffered from the inconsistent operationalization of the multidimensional structure of the construct and the conceptual overlap among its different components, making research…

Cyber-slacking interrupts classroom teaching and learning activities and is associated with poor academic performance. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study aimed to investigate whether both cognitive (i.e., attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control) and affective (i.e., fear of missing out [FoMO]) factors…

Effective video resources are assumed to promote learner engagement, but the extent to which this occurs is unclear. This study examines learners' engagement with instructor-generated video. It contributes an analytical synthesis of qualitative and quantitative data that provides the basis for investigating the extent to which, and how, learners…

Purpose: This study aims to examine how incorporating gamification elements into an offline training program influences learner engagement and learning outcomes in a non-academic, organizational setting. Design/methodology/approach: A randomized pretest-posttest control group experiment was designed to investigate participants' levels of…

Productive engagement in fractional reasoning is essential for abstracting fundamental algebraic concepts vital to college and career success. Yet, data suggest students with learning disabilities (LDs), in particular, display pervasive shortfalls in learning and mastering fraction content. We argue that shortfalls in understanding are in fact…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how non-traditional online undergraduate students describe the influence of support communities on their academic engagement while attending four-year universities in the United States. This study included 46 non-traditional online undergraduate students from a university in the…

Gypsy students are vulnerable to poor school attendance, low achievement, and school dropout (indicative of low engagement with school). Engagement with school is a multidimensional construct with cognitive, affective, and behavioural components, and research has yet to fully characterise engagement among Gypsy students considering these distinct…

Although research on the efficacy of written corrective feedback has received considerable attention in recent years, there is a dearth of research on learner engagement with written corrective feedback. Understanding how language learners engage with written corrective feedback is high on the agenda of feedback research because it provides a…

Engagement plays an important role in students' success in learning. While learner engagement has been widely examined, the degree to which learners engage in online learning and the relationship between online engagement and learning outcomes, particularly in the domain of second/foreign (L2) language learning, still remain under-explored. To…

Previous studies have confirmed the pivotal roles of student engagement in predicting learning achievements; however, only a few emphasized the patterns of different engagement dimensions within individuals (i.e., co-occurrences of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement). Thus, this study identifies engagement profiles and explores their…

This study, based on responses from 176 intermediate and advanced EFL learners in Chile, explores the perceptions of educational videos in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning among students from different gender groups and academic disciplines, specifically Social Sciences, Humanities, STEM, and Health Sciences. Using an experimental…

This article examines the experiences and perceptions of academics about student engagement and how their professional practice in a professional community enhances students' persistence and success in a university in South Africa. While previous research has widely focused on students' perception of how student engagement enhances student success…

This study aims to investigate the role of harmonious classroom environment to promote student's sense of belonging and engagement in online learning. Harmonious classroom environment is addressed with student-teacher relationship and student-student relationship, while student engagement comprises three interrelated components of cognitive,…

Immersive learning plays a crucial role in effective second language (L2) acquisition, but many learners face limited opportunities to interact with native speakers. While existing research highlights the importance of immersion in L2 learning, there is still a gap in understanding how Generative AI (GenAI) can provide greater access to such…
