Why measure student engagement?
And what is student engagement?
![Page 4: Measuring student engagement: findings from the Australasian Survey of Student Engagement (AUSSE)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56813364550346895d9a79bb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A student-centred perspective that reflects the wide range of academic and non-academic interactions that students have with their institution
Individuals learn and develop through behavioural,cognitive and affective involvement with key educational practices
People learn and develop when staff and institutions provide support likely to encourage involvement
Student effort + institution and teacher support = desirable outcomes
Established; relatively easy to assess; direct connections to improvement; built on research foundations; looks at change between years
A compelling idea
Link between students’ engagement and retention, completion and success as graduates

A key assumption is that learning is influenced by how an individual participates in educationally purposeful activities.
Students are seen as responsible in their learning, but institutions and staff also need to generate conditions that stimulate student involvement.

Developed over a decade, Australasia now has a source of quality-assured data on current students that is comparable across institutions
Production of contextually nuanced reports, research briefings and enhancement guides
Actionable institution reports for tracking and improvement
More robust cross-institutional research techniques
Commitment to measuring what counts for high-quality education
