For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has
grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of
cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and
further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of
student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved
outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to
numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought
together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on
Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field's
rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies
knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in
real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and
facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation,
and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement
in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness
of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because
assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters
on measurement methods and issues round out this important
resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include:
Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the
engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and
achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for
competency development. The relationship between engagement and
high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring
student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge
base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a
valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and
graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and
school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching
and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.
