Student engagement is a complex concept that includes factors like motivation, interest, and commitment. It also involves students' perceptions of how well they're doing academically, which can vary widely depending on the subject matter.

The 5 stages of student engagement

Here's how it works.

There are five stages of student engagement: 
  1. pre-engagement
  2. initial engagement
  3. sustained engagement
  4. deep engagement
  5. post-engagement. 


Pre-engagement refers to when students first show an interest in learning. Initial engagement occurs when students begin to actively participate in class. Sustained engagement happens when students continue to participate throughout the semester. Deep engagement means students are fully invested in their studies and are willing to put forth extra effort to succeed. Post-engagement is when students reflect on their experiences with learning and decide whether they will pursue further education. 


The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is a survey conducted every four years by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA.

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) measures student engagement at four levels: academic, social, personal/intrapersonal, and institutional. Academic engagement refers to the extent to which students feel engaged in their studies. Social engagement refers to the extent that students participate in activities outside of school that are related to their major. Personal/intrapersonal engagement refers to the extent of students' involvement in activities that are important to them personally. Institutional engagement refers to the extent students feel connected to their institution.

In order to understand student engagement, we first must define what it means. Engagement is "the process of being involved, interested, and committed to something," according to the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The NSSE defines four levels of engagement: high, medium, low, and very low. High engagement is defined as "being actively engaged in course work and other academic activities." Medium engagement is defined as "having some involvement in course work and other activities." Low engagement is defined as "not having much involvement in course work and activities." Very low engagement is defined as "little or no involvement in course work and academic activities."

Pre-engaged students are interested in learning, but they haven't yet made up their minds about whether or not they'll actually enrol.

If you're looking to engage students at any stage of the process, here's how to do it. First, make sure you understand why students are interested in learning. Then, provide them with opportunities to interact with others who share similar interests. Finally, give them plenty of chances to practice the skills they need to succeed.

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) found that pre-enrolled students were more likely than enrolled students to report high levels of academic self-efficacy, meaning that they felt confident about their ability to succeed in college. However, pre-enrolled students reported lower levels of student engagement than enrolled students. In fact, pre-enrolled respondents were less likely to feel engaged in their classes, had fewer friends who were involved in campus activities, and were less likely to participate in extracurricular activities.

Enrolled students are committed to their courses, and they're actively involved in them. They're also likely to stay enrolled until graduation.

In addition to being academically engaged, enrolled students are also socially engaged. This means they're active in extracurricular activities and participate in campus organizations. They're also likely connected to other people through social media.

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) measures student engagement across four dimensions: 
  1. academic engagement
  2. civic engagement
  3. campus involvement, and 
  4. personal/social development. 


Students who are engaged in their studies tend to be more motivated, feel more connected to their school community, and are more likely to graduate than those who aren't. 


In a study published in the Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, researchers found that student engagement is associated with academic success. The study's authors defined student engagement as "the extent to which students feel connected to their institution, engaged in their learning, and committed to their studies."              

Committed students are invested in their classes, and they're often eager to learn new material.

Engaged students are committed to their education and are willing to put forth extra effort to succeed. They're also interested in learning new things and are open to trying new approaches to studying.

In order to understand student engagement, we first must define what it means. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) defines student engagement as "the extent to which students feel involved in, and committed to, their academic work." Students who are engaged in their studies tend to be motivated and interested in learning, and they're willing to put forth effort toward achieving their goals.

In order to understand student engagement, we first must define what it means. Engagement is "the process of being involved, interested, and committed to something," according to the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The NSSE defines student engagement as a multidimensional construct that includes four dimensions: academic involvement, persistence, career development, and personal growth.

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) found that student engagement varies greatly across disciplines. In the social sciences, for example, students reported being most engaged in courses where they were able to apply what they learned in class to real-world situations. Students who took biology classes were most likely to report feeling engaged in their coursework. And those who enrolled in chemistry classes were most likely to feel engaged in their studies.
